It's not about you: leadership is about empowering other people as a result of your presence -- and making sure that impact continues into your absence -- Presence. Trust: trust is the foundation for empowering leadership. You build trust as a leader when you reveal authenticity, empathy, and logic -- Love: you empower other people as a leader when you simultaneously set high standards and reveal deep devotion to them -- Belonging: you empower teams as a leader when you champion difference and ensure that everyone can contribute their unique capacities and perspectives -- Absence. Strategy: strategy allows you to empower organizations by showing people how to create and capture value on their own -- Culture: where strategy is silent, culture fills the space. Culture allows you to empower organizations -- and beyond -- by changing the way people think.

"Bestselling authors Frances Frei and Anne Morriss champion a bold redefinition of leadership and offer a real-world guide for unleashing greatness in other people and, ultimately, yourself. When leaders want to improve, they find an abundance of ideas to help build themselves up. They're told to identify and develop natural-born strengths, to mine their failures for insights into what they need to change, and to work hard to correct any real or perceived career-limiting deficiencies. Own the room. Eat last. Do you. Frances Frei and Anne Morriss argue that this popular leadership advice glosses over the most important thing you can do to be a great leader: Build others up. Leadership, at its core, is not about you. As Frei and Morriss show through inspiring stories from the NBA to ancient Rome to Silicon Valley, real leadership is about how effective you are at making other people better--and making sure that this impact endures even in your absence. Unleashed helps you do just that. Showing how the boldest, most effective leaders use a special combination of trust, love, and inclusion to create a space in which other people can excel, Frei and Morriss provide practical, battle-tested tools--based on their work in companies such as Uber, Riot Games, Walmart, and others--along with interviews and stories from their own personal experience to make these ideas come alive. This book is your indispensable guide for unleashing greatness in other people . . . and, ultimately, in yourself."--From publisher.
