An HBR 10 Must Reads on Leadership contributor and a leadership, negotiation, and “crisis expert” heralded by the New York Times and Financial Times.
What if most of what you know about leadership is wrong—or at least not useful in a world growing ever more complex and ever faster? In The Power of Everyone, Eric McNulty looks both to the past and the future to explore leading as a collective undertaking, not the preserve of singular superheroes.
Drawing on examples from ancient wisdom traditions and modern practices, McNulty shows how people have always led together and are doing so now to tackle some of our most vexing problems. The book explores changes in thinking and practice that can reawaken our inherent cooperative and collaborative abilities through communities of leading, an approach that balances shared needs, values, and goals with individuals’ ability to contribute. Throughout the book, leading is a verb—something you do to achieve change not tied to a position or title.
From the work of the late Jane Goodall in wildlife conservation to a nascent community bank in New Hampshire reshaping the food economy to a global nonprofit working with communities adjacent to protected rainforests and even in corporate settings, the book demonstrates the power and potential of working together. The stories are profound and inspiring, highlighting efforts to create thriving organizations and communities that live with respect for both humans and other-than-humans sharing planet Earth.
