Get your hands on exclusive content from Keith Ferrazzi when you pre-order his new book NEVER LEAD ALONE: 10 Shifts From Leadership to Teamship: https://www.keithferrazzi.com/books

I am SO EXCITED to officially announce the launch of my new book, "Never Lead Alone."

In today's volatile, fast-paced and decentralized business environment, even the most talented leaders can't succeed alone.

The true source of sustainable competitive advantage lies in mobilizing the full potential of the team.

The world's highest-performing organizations understand they need more than leadership to win they need Teamship.

Teamship is a profound shift from today’s time-poor, overstretched leaders and the hierarchical, hub-and-spoke model to a new peer-to-peer approach of sharing the leadership load with a team of peers who strive to elevate each other, the team, and the organization.

Based on over 20 years of research with more than 3,000 teams, we have cracked the code on what separates the top 15% of teams from the rest.

I have added a link to pre-order the book in the comment section below!

Also, if this is a topic that resonates with you and you are interested in learning more about a keynote presentation for your organization, please send me a direct message.
