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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrances 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 \u003ci\u003eothers\u003c\/i\u003e up. Leadership isn't about you. It's about how effective you are at empowering other people\u0026amp;#8212and 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnleashed\u003c\/i\u003e 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\u0026amp;#8212based on their work with companies such as Uber, Riot Games, WeWork, and others\u0026amp;#8212along with interviews and stories from their own personal experience, to make these ideas come alive.
