"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 Times
Leadership 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.

Named one of "8 New Books That Will Make You a Better Leader In 2021" — Forbes
"Full of superb stories, this book first dispels an enduring misapprehension for many leaders—it's just not about you—then makes clear that a leader's job above all else is to unleash potential in others." — SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management)
"Their book is generous, humane—and yes, empowering." — BizEd magazine
Advance Praise for Unleashed:
"Frei and Morriss have written the definitive guide to leadership today, just when we need it most. In voices that are fresh, playful, and unapologetically direct, they give us permission to look beyond ourselves and focus instead on the true challenge of leadership: how to help others unlock their full potential." — Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO, Thrive Global
"Through insight drawn from their extensive work teaching leaders and companies how to thrive, Frances Frei and Anne Morriss offer more proof that trust is a competitive advantage and the key to building effective, happy teams." — Doug McMillon, President and CEO, Walmart
"No matter where you are on your leadership journey, the engaging stories and real-life examples Frei and Morriss use to illustrate the traits of effective leaders will help you empower others to do their best work and create lasting impact." — Peggy Johnson, Executive Vice President, Business Development, Microsoft

"Frei and Morriss have brilliantly encapsulated what normally takes a leader many years and many mistakes to learn and have given it back to the reader in the form of a beautiful blueprint for successful leadership. Unleashed is full of relevant experiences I wish I'd had when I moved from leading individuals to leading teams—and realized it was no longer about me." — Jennifer Morgan, Co-CEO and Member of the Executive Board, SAP
"The first step to breakthrough is self-realization. The next step is harnessing the career-catapulting lessons in Unleashed." — Bozoma Saint John, Chief Marketing Officer, Endeavor

So well written, full of details and practicle examples, it’s better than any other coaches or leadership courses you can get on the topic as it’s not only talking about the topic but it focuses on the increasingly importance of diversity and inclusion and how to include them into leadership strategies.
