Synopsis

"This is an extremely insightful and powerful book. Really. It has profound, hopeful implications on how we must lead and live in a society that has become so lost and isolated. I loved this book and want everyone to read and understand it."
—Patrick Lencioni, New York Times bestselling author of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and The Six Types of Working Genius

Forget Everything You Know about Leadership


Leadership is not about wielding power and making decisions. We’ve been taught that those with power get to make the decisions. If you work hard, climb the corporate ladder, get more money and power, then you get to say what happens to those at the bottom. How’s that working out for you?

A new brand of leadership is not about grabbing power, but about giving it away through selfless service.

Leadership doesn’t start with decisions, but ends with them. The true measure of a leader lies in their willingness to put the needs of their employees above their own desire for control. “I’m willing to make decisions for the good of my employees” is the exact opposite of “I want to make decisions.” One gives away power, while the other demands it.

Which type of leader are you?

In this book, leaders, managers, and aspiring managers will learn—

  • What to say when you have no idea what to do next
  • How to know the difference between hard skills and soft (human) skills and put them to work in your workplace
  • When to practice vulnerability (in other words, get out of your comfort zone, when whatever you’re doing isn’t working)
  • Why the four guiding principles of leadership will transform you and your team
