The New Rules of Disruption

To lead disruptive change, you must understand how disruptions shift power because leadership is about the accumulation and use of power. The source of leadership power is shifting, away from positions and titles toward relationships and connection. Most importantly, when you and your employees stand in your own power and sense of agency, power is shared and amplified, unleashing exponential results.
