About this listen

The number one New York Times best-selling author of Never Eat Alone redefines collaboration with a radical new workplace operating system in which leadership no longer demands an office, an official title, or even a physical workplace.

"An actionable methodology for any team to thrive during the decade of exponential change ahead." (Peter H. Diamandis, founder of XPRIZE and Singularity University, best-selling co-author of Abundance, Bold, and The Future Is Faster Than You Think)

In times of stress, we have a choice: we can retreat further into our isolated silos, or we can commit to "going higher together". When external pressures are mounting, and employees are working from far-flung locations across the globe, says best-selling author Keith Ferrazzi, we can no longer afford to waste time navigating the complex chains of command or bureaucratic bottlenecks present in most companies. But when we choose the bold new methodology of co-elevation as our operating model, we unlock the potential to boost productivity, deepen commitment and engagement, and create a level of trust, mutual accountability, and purpose that exceeds what could have been accomplished under the status quo. And you don't need any formal authority to do it. You simply have to marshal a commitment to a shared mission and care about the success and development of others as much as you care about your own. Regardless of your title, position, or where or how you work, the ability to lead without authority is an essential workplace competency.

Here, Ferrazzi draws on over a decade of research and over 30 years helping CEOs and senior leaders drive innovation and build high-performing teams to show how we can all turn our colleagues and partners into teammates and truly reboot the way we work together.

Critic reviews

"Leading Without Authority is the must-read guidebook for radical transformation. Keith Ferrazzi's concept of co-elevation provides an actionable methodology for any team to thrive during the decade of exponential change ahead." (Peter H. Diamandis, founder of XPRIZE and Singularity University, bestselling co-author of Abundance, Bold, and The Future Is Faster Than You Think)

"Ferrazzi is breaking new ground in defining what leadership can mean in the emerging world of work. He shows that humility, curiosity, and candor can serve as the connective tissue binding us to our mission, to one another, and to a sense of purpose larger than ourselves." (Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO of Thrive Global)

"I'm excited to bring 'co-elevation' (as a new word, as a new book, and as a concept) to Zappos to help bring our culture and our business to the next level." (Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos, New York Times best-selling author of Delivering Happiness)

Drop it

Whatever leadership book you’re reading right now drop it. Just needs to be when you were reading right now. I have read many leader ship books from Extreme Ownershipleadership, radical candor, Dare to lead, good to great, and the list goes on.

The practice of good faith and co-sharing

For the frequent reader of motivational books it’s more of the same - CEO bumper messages and plug in for other motivational books. However if you are a novice to these types of books it’s a good starting point that will provide a way forward to plot your trajectory to elevate by helping others in the process…nonetheless it’s a good read.

Must read!

An incredibly impactful book, especially now. We need innovation to help get businesses back on track, especially during this pandemic. No matter the size of the business, co-elevation will impact how great ideas transform your business, because of relationship building.

This book will transform how relationships are built across departments and/or job descriptions. Silos help no one, we have to look up from our silos and connect this book shows actionable steps for that process.
