Whole Leaders, Wild Trust

Praise for Whole Leaders, Wild Trust

Throughout my career as a CEO, corporate board director, and CEO coach, I have witnessed leadership at its most challenging and transformative moments. And rarely have I encountered a book as honest, empowering, and simply humane as Whole Leaders, Wild Trust. Rob McKenna’s insights reach far beyond conventional wisdom; he illuminates the courageous interplay between trust, vulnerability, and wholeness that defines truly exceptional leadership. In Whole Leaders, Wild Trust, Rob McKenna doesn’t just write about the importance of trust—he provides the tools that leaders can use to develop and earn it. In my experience in leading, overseeing, and advising on complex global transformations, I’ve learned that true leadership isn’t measured only by strategy or even results, but also by the courage, emotional maturity, and trust that undergird it. This book bridges the gap between intention and practice. The WiLD Toolkit’s assessments and the WiLD Trust Index deliver insightful and measurable ways to understand leadership under pressure. Rob’s work is a call for leaders to be both driven and compassionate, data-informed and deeply human. He reminds us that we’re not just shaping organizations—we’re shaping people’s lives, we are shaping the future. Whole Leaders, Wild Trust is a real must-read for every leader.
