Description
The Power of Giving Away Power: How the Best Leaders Learn to Let Go By Matthew Barzun Great leaders thrive in uncertain times by changing their mindset about power. For decades, they've been told to adopt either top-down or bottom-up leadership approaches, but these methods haven't worked. The problem lies in the traditional pyramid structure of organizations, which stifles innovation and collaboration. A new approach has emerged: Constellations. These dynamic networks of individuals feel like singular stars yet are connected to others to form something greater. Organizations designed as constellations have been successful in various industries, such as Visa's reimagining of payment systems and Wikipedia's defeat of a wealthy company. In this book, Matthew Barzun shares his own experiences as an internet entrepreneur, political organizer, and US ambassador, layering lessons from history and industries to show how the Constellation mindset shines in impactful organizations and innovations.
