In his new book, Dr. Max Klau describes his decades-long effort to develop an organization-wide capacity to guide servant leader through a powerful and scalable process of inner development.  This work happened over the course of ten years at City Year, the education-focused AmericCorps program, and is now central to the work of the New Politics Leadership Academy, an organization seeking to recruit and develop military vets and alumni of national service programs to enter politics.  Max will tell the story of developing the approach, explain the model, and share stories of how it is impacting the world today.  

Dr. Max Klau is a consultant, author, speaker, and Integral Master Coach based in Boston, Massachusetts.  He received his doctorate from the Harvard Graduate School of Education in 2005 with a focus on adaptive leadership..  He currently serves as the Senior Advisor to the New Politics Leadership Academy (NPLA), an organization focused on bringing more servant leaders into politics.  As the Chief Program Officer at NPLA from 2016-2024, Max designed a sequence of leadership development programs that have graduated more than 2,500 servant leaders.   Prior to that, he was the Vice President of Leadership Development at City Year, the education-focused AmeriCorps program.  His writing about leadership has appeared in Fast Company and the Harvard Business Review and his second book, Developing Servant Leaders at Scale:  How to Do It and Why it Matters, will be published in August 2025.
