From the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Who’s Got Your Back? and Competing in the New World of Work comes Leading Without Authority, a book that redefines collaboration and how we think of the leadership space. With offices spreading out virtually, corporate structures changing, external pressures mounting and thirty years working with senior leaders, Ferrazzi challenges us to choose a new methodology of leadership (“co-elevation”) to boost our teams. Within this model, Ferrazzi asserts we can deepen commitment and engagement among employees, create a base level of trust, accept mutual accountability and work better together toward a common purpose. To put it in his own words, “Regardless of your title, position, or where or how you work, the ability to lead without authority is an essential workplace competency.”

A New York Times Bestseller that has sold more than three million copies, Five Dysfunctions of a Team showcases a functional concept of the issues plaguing teams of all sizes in a clear outline with advice on how to overcome each step. From a pyramid of dysfunctions that starts with trust and ends with results, Lencioni presents a cohesive diagram of where we are going wrong with our teams (and how to get it right). He challenges our difficulties with conflict, commitment and accountability, and gives us the courage to overcome these struggles so our team can succeed together.

Understanding how to be a great leader often means overcoming our own innate insecurities and egos. In The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership, the authors walk us through how our egos, fears and emotions (including anger) lead us away from success. A very simple concept of being “above or below” the line is introduced in this book, which teaches us that if you are leading “above the line” you are curious, open and above all, committed to learning. If you are “below the line”, you are defensive, closed, unapproachable and committed to being right. This book demonstrates the ways in which evolution and corporate structure have led us to fearing being wrong more than being able to grow, and how we can get back “above the line” so we can lead our teams consciously.

Written by one of Time magazine’s “25 Most Influential Americans”, this book has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide and was named the #1 Most Influential Business Book of the 20th Century. It’s no wonder why. In The 7 Habits, Covey demonstrates how our own experiences and perspectives warp the ways we work and lead. Through changing ourselves, and therefore our perspectives, we grow in how we relate to others and understand ourselves. With seven attainable habits focused on teamwork, development and communication, Covey gives us the tools to better lead ourselves as well as others.
