Leading Without Authority

LEADING WITHOUT AUTHORITY: How the New Power of Co-Elevation Can Break Down Silos, Transform Teams, and Reinvent Collaboration

by Keith Ferrazzi

Too many people allow their job titles and official responsibilities to define what they do (or don’t do). In reality, you don’t need a formal title or direct reports to be a leader. In this book, Keith Ferrazzi shares the principles and practices of co-elevation—a collaborative problem-solving approach built on a shared mission, flexible partnerships, self-organizing teams, candor and mutual accountability. These allow you to co-create results in a way that brings everyone to greater heights.

In this summary, you’ll learn: 

• What’s co-elevation, and how it can generate positive outcomes for everyone involved;

• The 8 rules of co-elevation, with specific practices to: redefine who’s on your team, take ownership for results, earn the right to invite others to join you, make collaboration the new norm, take charge of your team’s development, spread positive energy, leverage other members to co-elevate the tribe, and become a part of a wider social movement.

Who should read this:
• Leaders, managers, business owners, and coaches/trainers;
• Anyone who wants to improve your influence and impact, regardless of your position or title.
