Simply having a title and authority isn't enough to engage and motivate today's employees, says bestelling author and CEO consultant Keith Ferrazzi. They have to want to follow your lead. You have to earn it. On the other hand, there are countless leaders in the ranks of our companies, Ferrazzi says, who may not have a title, but whose experience and insights and counsel are essential for a team and an organization to reach its full potential. In Leading Without Authority, Ferrazzi shows us 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. Based on two decades of working with CEOs, senior leadership, and drawing on emerging research in organizational and behavioral psychology, Ferrazzi reveals, through stories and examples, how to assume the mantle of leadership, whatever your title, to build trust, create candor, and drive transparency and purpose. By helping others to be better at what they do, we help ourselves, advance our careers, and improve our teams. Leading Without Authority promises to be the book on leadership--whether you have a title or not--by strengthening relationships and cooperation, both in our professional and personal lives.

Removes the Bottleneck to All Company's Success Especially in Remote Workforces

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2020

The media could not be loaded.

If you're a fan of Keith Ferrazzi's other wonderful books, "Never Eat Alone" and "Who's Got Your Back?" "Leading Without Authority" is his masterpiece.
Have you ever noticed that whether you're an entrepreneur of a Fortune 500 CEO, that the bottleneck to your company's success is NOT in the vision, mission or strategy. It is in the execution.
Why?
Because execution requires executing that strategy through people and people are often more complicated than your strategy or AI. One of the greatest problems is how to get your people to "buy in" and commit fully to your strategy.
In traditional top down leadership and management, the motivation to follow through by your people when the "pump you up" leader/pump leaves. When the pump's away the people will stray. And this is especially true with remote workforces.
In Leading Without Authority you help your people recognize that the power to get anything done doesn't come from above them and outside them via you. It comes from within and between them.
All it takes is for a leader to realize this and for them to use this amazing guide to helping their people "co-elevate" each other to achieve any objective and much beyond.
Thank you Keith!

A game changer in modern work culture.

"Leading without Authority" shows the path forward for companies to be successful by encouraging people regardless of job title to form collaborative teams to accomplish a mission. The author does a great job of providing some history behind the concept and why it's important to implement in our present day work culture. The book goes deep into how to develop working relationships, providing feedback, and most importantly, what is meant by Co-elevation - "turning a fellow associate into a team mate". The book does a great job of providing a path for management to apply as an organizational model.

Excellent book - very insightful and action oriented!

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2020

Verified Purchase

Few pages in, and already picked up several insights. Specific examples that were helpful so far are the a) power of a co-elevation mindset (e.g., everyone on the team owning the team’s success) and b) the practice of candor (e.g., how we can tell the truth about what we need to hear to be more effective as a team)

Some good insights and great advice for those struggling in organizations with poor leadership

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2021

I break this book down into 2 sections: 1) How to excel and make a difference in organizations with poor leadership. 2) How to instill a set of rules or culture so that your type A leadership can get along. The book is just ok.

Work, family, life. This book teaches you how to improve every relationship you have.

Learn how to co-elevate with those around you! Great, easy read. Awesome content that is applicable to the business world, family life, and every personal relationship. Halfway through I felt compelled to send a message to the author on social media, detailing how excited I was after reading a chapter that really hit home with a situation in the workplace. If you find yourself (or those around you) making excuses for mediocrity, this is a must read!
