Reviews: "If you want to be a leader, you need people who will choose to follow you, to talk about you, to connect over your ideas. This thoughtful book dives deep into all of these essential ideas."
Seth Godin, Author of New York Times bestseller Tribes
"While everyone is scrambling to get onto the ‘we-think’ bandwagon, Gobillot is up front, giving it clear direction. In this lucid, compelling, entertaining and provocative text he answers the questions most leaders are still too afraid to ask. Gobillot is surely the freshest voice in leadership today."
Gordon Torr, author of Managing Creative People
Description: "We are leading in turbulent times" has to be the understatement of the century. Critical trends are turning the world of work on its head. When people work collectively there is no rule book. Nothing fits together in neat models. No one knows who is in charge. For leaders the time has come to question every move.
• Who makes the decisions in a virtual world?
• How does an online community effect change?
• What does social networking mean for the way we solve problems?
• Can the online world teach us anything about the offline one?
In this groundbreaking and fast-paced book, Emmanuel Gobillot explores the world of mass collaboration (the collective actions of large numbers of people working independently of organizations) and what it means for leaders.
Using examples and ideas from a breathtaking number of fields, he rewrites the rules of leadership. His conclusion is as stark as his solutions are practical - adjust your mindset or become irrelevant.
