Unleashed

Unleashed is worth an afternoon of your time whether or not you are already a leader. It is sparkily written and personal drawing on the experiences of co-authors (and spouses) Frei and Morriss.— Financial TimesLeadership isn't easy. It takes grit courage and vision among other things that can be hard to come by on your toughest days. When leaders and aspiring leaders seek out advice they're often told to try harder. Dig deeper. Look in the mirror and own your natural-born strengths and fix any real or perceived career-limiting deficiencies.Frances Frei and Anne Morriss offer a different worldview. They argue that this popular leadership advice glosses over the most important thing you do as a leader: build others up. Leadership isn't about you. It's about how effective you are at empowering other people—and making sure this impact endures even in your absence. As Frei and Morriss show through inspiring stories from ancient Rome to present-day Silicon Valley the origins of great leadership are found paradoxically not in worrying about your own status and advancement but in the unrelenting focus on other people's potential.Unleashed provides radical advice for the practice of leadership today. Showing how the boldest most effective leaders use a special combination of trust love and belonging to create an environment in which other people can excel Frei and Morriss offer practical battle-tested tools—based on their work with companies such as Uber Riot Games WeWork 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.To learn more please visit theleadersguide.com.
