LEAD TOGETHER

It's time we started building businesses differently. In LEAD TOGETHER: The Bold, Brave, Intentional Path to Scaling Your Business, authors Brent Lowe, Susan Basterfield and Travis Marsh bring their combined 50 years of expertise in the fields of self-managing and self-organizing to offer founders, CEOs and leaders a radical new way of working and scaling a business.

Despite the advent of disruptive technologies that have upended the traditional business landscape, the structure of most companies remains largely unchanged, with top-down leadership still the norm. Couldn't there be a better way to organize work that reflects our modern world—one with nimble, invested leaders rather than disengaged, disinterested employees?

The answer is yes! LEAD TOGETHER teaches you key principles and proven methods to transform models of top-down leadership into dynamic human systems of shared responsibility and accountability, through the concepts of self-organizing and self-management.

The book includes the stories of more than sixty scaling businesses in tech, food production, health care, wellness, entertainment, and more, to show first-hand how integrating a new paradigm for work can lead to incredible growth.

Warning: this path is not for the faint of heart! It is a radical approach to scaling your business—bold, brave and intentional. It involves commitment and persistence, experimentation and an appetite for change. As company founders themselves, Lowe, Basterfield and Marsh have helped countless others unleash the human potential of their teams to create organizations that lead together. Are you ready to take the leap?
