Overview

It's time we started building businesses differently. Despite the advent of disruptive technologies that have upended the business landscape, the structure of most companies remains largely unchanged, with traditional top-down leadership still the norm. Couldn't there be a better way to organize work that reflects our modern world-one with nimble, invested leaders rather than disengaged, disinterested employees?The answer is yes! In Lead Together, authors Brent Lowe, Susan Basterfield and Travis Marsh offer founders, CEOs and other leaders a radical new way of working and scaling a business. Lead Together teaches you key principles and proven methods to transform models of top-down leadership into dynamic human systems of shared responsibility and accountability, through the concepts of self-organizing and self-management. You'll hear from the leaders of more than sixty scaling businesses at the vanguard of this movement about the on-the-ground challenges and rewards of adopting a new paradigm for work. Warning: this path is not for the faint of heart! It is a radical approach to scaling your business-bold, brave and intentional. It involves commitment and persistence, experimentation and an appetite for change. As company founders themselves with more than fifty years of combined experience as coaches and catalysts to scaling businesses, Lowe, Basterfield and Marsh have helped countless founders and leaders like you unleash the human potential of their teams to create organizations that lead together. Are you ready to take the leap?
