Chapters

I read this book with one goal in mind, to find and implement at least one way to improve my leadership abilities by May 1st, because I love the companies I'm involved in and the impact they're creating. And while I had many takeaways, my favorite was this: effective co-creation comes from a proactive stance where your power expands by inviting other people into your world, asking them for their contributions, perspectives, capacities, or disciplines helping you co-create that vision. Everything in our culture educates us to achieve things on our own, whether it's school, university, work. We're largely assessed and rewarded for our individual achievements, but that's not how leaders win.
