"<i>We the Leader</i> is a seismic shift in the theory and practice of leadership. Jeff has created a new and radical leadership model for the leader of the future—one that requires agility, innovation, trust, and flexibility. This book is a critical read for every leader today!"<br>—<b>Marshall Goldsmith</b>, <i>New York Times</i> #1 bestselling author of <i>Triggers, Mojo</i>, and <i>What Got&#160;</i><br><br>"You Here Won’t Get You There, and the only two-time #1 Leadership Thinker in the world&#160;&#160;<br>It is exciting for me to see the progression of Jeff’s thinking into <i>We the Leader</i>. I know from having worked with Jeff closely over the past six years that what you find in these pages works. The structure of We the Leader combined with regular skill building and practice create a road map for leveraging more of what people bring to work. Two obvious outcomes are better problem solving and better performance against metrics. While the model is based upon collective leadership, the senior leader has to endorse and engage in the process for it to work. The result is a combination of more and better leadership throughout the organization."<br>—<b>Rob Burch</b>, President and CEO, Kindel Grand Rapids<br><br>"<i>We the Leader</i> is a timely guide for inclusive leaders and DEI practitioners looking for innovative ideas and tools for creating a sustainable operating system built upon diversity, equity and inclusion principles."<br>—<b>Rosalyn Taylor O’Neale</b>, Principal Consultant, Cook Ross Inc., author of <i>7 Keys 2 Success: Unlocking the Passion for Diversity and 7 Keys 2 Success: A Leaders Guide to Unlocking Inclusion</i> (forthcoming)<br><br>"<i>We the Leader </i>provides valuable insights needed for organizations to collaborate and collectively learn and grow from all associates’ unique perspectives. Creating and sustaining a culture where everyone leads and follows regardless of title will impact an organization’s creativity, inclusiveness, and the ability to execute projects, initiatives, and objectives effectively and efficiently."&#160;<br>—<b>Teresa King</b>, CPCU, AIC Chief Claims Office, Encova Insurance<br><br>"For the last thirty years we have made little progress in the authentic engagement of our people and the successful execution of our most vital business strategies. As leaders, we must find a better way to engage the hearts and minds of our people. Spahn's <i>We the Leader</i> puts us on the critical path to discover and act on that better way! We are constantly focused on disrupting our industries and our businesses. How about disrupting our leadership to elevate it to unprecedented levels of breakthrough results. Spahn's We the Leader opens the door for game changing leadership disruption!"<br>—<b>Jim Haudan</b>, Former CEO and Cofounder Root Inc., author of <i>The Art of Engagement</i> and co-author of <i>Leadership Blind Spots</i><br><br>"Winning firms are different from the norm. The difference comes from the way people and teams act out their leadership role. In this refreshing approach, Jeff Spahn asks some demanding questions and in turn turns our traditional view of the hierarchical leader upside down. This is more than just a philosophical inquiry—it is a call to action to release leadership talent at all levels to realize new value, energy, and excitement!"&#160;<br>—<b>Steve Mostyn</b>, Associate Fellow, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, Honorary Professor, Adam Smith School of Business, Glasgow University<br><br>"Jeffrey Spahn's new book outlines a thoughtful approach to managing in a post-hierarchical world, where everyone is a leader and a follower at the same time, all the time. Spahn's unique combination of big-picture insights and micro-behavioral coaching tactics provides many practical examples of how we can create the mutuality that is required to meet the challenges of our time. Read it, use it, and spread the word!"<br>—<b>Daniel Denison</b>, Professor Emeritus, IMD Business School, Chairman, Denison Consulting, LLC<br><br>"It's exciting to read a book tracing the evolution of our understanding and practice of leadership. <i>We the Leader</i> shows us that we have a GPS guiding us forward on an emerging path toward a leadership mindset and style that finally recognizes that (1) we are the leaders of our own lives, as such, we can lead only ourselves, projects, and activities, not others, and (2) leadership is about individually and collectively following the true purpose of the team, project, or organization—what brought us together in the first place. Intrigued? Ready for this? Read on."&#160;<br>—<b>Teresa Dosdos Ruelas</b>, Founder and Executive Director, Cebu Farmers Market, Communities for Alternative Food Ecosystems Initiative, Inc.<br><br>"<i>We the Leader's</i> time is here. With millennials now the largest segment of the working population and the changing nature of work itself, legacy models of leadership no longer fit. In <i>We the Leader</i>, Jeff Spahn paints us a vivid picture of what leadership means in this new world, showing us a way forward with a practical operating model for leading and driving results. A must read!"&#160;&#160;<br>—<b>John Fodor</b>, former Executive Vice President and global distribution leader at a renowned global financial firm<br><br>"If you and your organization, company or movement genuinely value diversity, equity and inclusion then <i>We the Leader</i> is a must read. Why? Because We the Leader is an operating system built upon the ideals and actual practice of diversity, equity and inclusion that mutually enhances human development, organizational results, and social justice."<br>—<b>Dr. Shanta Premawardhana</b>, President, OMNIA Institute for Contextual Leadership<br><br>"Traditional 'top down' leadership models can be very challenging. Spahn's We the Leader emphasizes the importance of all people bringing value to the discussion and of the need for leaders to know how to lead and follow at the same time, or simultaneously. This model drives innovation and improved performance through inclusive leadership. This is an excellent read for any existing or new leader."<br>—<b>Don Sweeney</b>, Founder and CEO, Ashling Partners, two-time cofounder and CEO of technology firms<br><br>" 'Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.' In a world of words and phrases, but often little action, <i>We the Leader</i> is at the forefront of providing not only a blueprint, but also a proven process of leadership that results in real diversity, equity, and inclusion. <i>We the Leader</i> is a must read for anyone interested in results, not words!"&#160;<br>—<b>Steve Malbasa</b>, partner in a major financial firm, former top executive at a renowned global financial company<br><br>"A brilliant framework to empower people at every level of an organization to bring their gifts and talents in service of a common purpose. Many organizations are struggling to become more inclusive and to empower their organization at all levels. <i>We the Leader </i>shows how to make this happen."<br>—<b>Aimee Daniel</b>, Master Chair, Vistage Worldwide Inc.<br>&#160;<br>"Today's leadership teams consist of individuals who are highly trained, strong-willed, and intent on making their mark. <i>We the Leader</i> provides the guidance a CEO needs to navigate in this highly charged environment. It's a force multiplier, increasing the potential for organizational success by reducing ego conflict and increasing engagement and satisfaction at all levels."<br>—<b>Chris DeRose</b>, Former CEO, Michigan Retirement Systems, Ohio Public Employees Retirement System, and Municipal Employees Retirement System of Michigan<br>&#160;<br>"Spahn spells out the learned behaviors of traditional or hierarchical leadership: colleagues often impose boundaries that stifle their innovative thinking. I was provoked by the observation that traditional leadership results in conformity, inequality, and exclusion in contrast to the desired outcomes of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. For organizations thinking about how to design DEI initiatives that result in breakthrough outcomes, <i>We the Leader</i> is a must read."<br>—<b>Robert C. Smith</b>, Partner, Ohio Market Leader, Cerity Partners, LLC<br><br><br>
