n recent years, we have seen a disturbing change among leaders with whom we work: they are finding it very difficult to sustain their effectiveness over time.Why does this happen among leaders with vision, talent, and emotional intelligenceleaders who truly understand what it takes to craft great organizations and who build healthy and transparent relationships? Many busy executives place little value on renewal, or on developing practices-habits of mind, body, and behavior-that enable us to sustain ourselves in the face of unending challenges, year in and year out. In fact, it is often just the opposite. Many people and organizations confuse short-term results with long-term effectiveness and tolerate destructive behavior, discord, and mediocre leadership for a very long time. Then there are the very real pressures: increased scrutiny of financial details, omnipresent and vigilant constituencies waiting and ready to pounce, leaner organizations, and simply more work to do. Many leaders find themselves fighting just to keep their heads above water.
