Synopsis

Knowing how to build influence and lead others without title or authority, no matter what your role, is a workplace necessity.

No one needs to appoint you, promote you, or nominate you. You decide. It's not rank that will get you results; it's the actions. In The Titleless Leader, you will discover uncommon behaviors that will enable you to:

  • Operate with trust in an era of distrust and growing cynicism
  • Activate your titleless leadership practice by using "what-does-it-look-like?" approaches and "how-does-it-happen?" tips, exercises, and insights
  • Engage yourself and others using the cornerstones of self-alignment, soul-courage, possibility seeds, and winning philosophies
