'Ferrazzi is breaking new ground in defining what leadership can mean in the emerging world of
work' -Arianna Huffington founder and CEO of Thrive Global 'Ferrazzi has gone into the
trenches to figure out what it really takes to empower people and make teams more than the sum
of their parts. This book will be a staple in every leader's library' -Adam Grant host of the
TED podcast WorkLife bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals Long-listed for the
CMI Management Book of the Year 2021 The world of work is changing at an unprecedented rate
leaving many organisations struggling to cope. At a time when constant innovation agility and
speed often mean the difference between success and failure we can no longer afford to waste
time navigating the complex bureaucracy present in most companies. The #1 New York Times
bestselling author Keith Ferrazzi argues that in times like these the ability to lead without
authority is the essential workplace competency. Leading Without Authority reveals the secret
to getting those around you to collaborate and cooperate to reach their full potential
whatever your title. The answer involves a shift in mindset that Ferrazzi calls co-elevation -
working to elevate those around us. And you don't have to have formal authority or direct
reports to utilize the co-elevation process. In fact you can take initial steps forward
without the other person even being aware of your efforts. Drawing on a decade of research and
over thirty years helping CEOs and senior leaders drive innovation and build high-performing
teams Ferrazzi reveals how we can all transform our business and our relationships with the
people around us. The result is a new roadmap for thriving amid the disruptive pressures
afflicting every industry.
