Overview
True leadership is rooted in the ability to deeply connect with others. Understanding the dynamics of human relationships is not just a nice-to-have for effective leadership; it is essential in order to thrive, and even survive, in today’s world of work. As machines grow ever smarter, your brain won’t be your differentiator in the workplace of tomorrow, your heart—that is, your ability to authentically relate with others—will be.
In the style of his previous bestselling books, Leadership and Self-Deception and The Anatomy of Peace, Jim Ferrell brings readers another story—this time illustrating how lasting success, more than ever before, will depend on maximizing our uniquely human ability to connect with one another. The characters in the book may be fictional, but their challenges are not, and You and We offers readers a culmination of all Ferrell has learned over his years of researching, training, and mentoring leaders to transform organization ecosystems. Readers will learn to:
- Think relationally rather than individualistically
- Identify and measure their relational levels with people inside and outside of work
- Map and score the relational field of their organizations
- Assess the relational strength of their organizations across the four dimensions of behavior, attitude, structure, and community
- Break through surface-level interaction and foster deep connection
- Eliminate silos and overcome division in their communities
For executives seeking to strengthen the relational fabric of their organizations, as well as all those interested in overcoming the countless conflicts our society faces today, You and We is an essential guide to mastering the art of connection that will empower you to unite, lead, and drive meaningful, lasting change.
