Frances Frei and Anne Morriss offer a different worldview on leadership. They argue that 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. Chapter 1 discusses how leadership is about empowering other people as a result of your presence, and making sure that impact continues into your absence. It sets up the premise that leadership is not about the leader, and is an introduction to the rest of the book, split into two parts. Part One--comprising chapters 2 through 4-focuses on opportunities for leadership where you're in the proverbial room, when the people you seek to lead are within your immediate reach (or, presence). Part Two--comprising chapters 5 and 6-focuses on making sure that impact continues in a leader's absence.
