UNLEASHED: The Unapologetic Leader’s Guide to Empowering Everyone Around You

/by

It’s not about you. Instead, leadership depends on how well you unleash the potential of other people.

That is the radical redefinition of leadership from UNLEASHED: The Unapologetic Leader’s Guide to Empowering Everyone Around You. (Harvard Business Review Press, June 2, 2020)

Authors, Frances Frei and Anne Morriss, have already made headlines by putting their theory into practice with disruptive impact.

Professor Frei most recently served as Uber’s first Senior VP of Leadership and Strategy to help the company navigate its very public crisis in leadership and culture.

Please plan to join us on September 9 when HBS Professor Frances Frei will join us in a virtual environment to talk about their research and the results of the implementation of their findings.

“The first step in breakthrough is self-realization. The next step is harnessing the Career-catapulting lessons in UNLEAShED” – Bozoma Saint John CMO, Endeavor
