What got us here will not get us there. The context in which we now live, trade, and work in the 21st century has little in common with that of Frederick Taylor or Henry Ford. What is revered as leadership today is often nothing more than a destructive set of obsolete behaviors that harm individuals and societies, and that must be reinvented.

Dare to Un-Lead explores the opportunities we have to collectively transform leadership from a top-down hierarchical hegemony to one that is based on empowering people to lead together through the concepts of liberty, equality and community.

Change agent Céline Schillinger combines her personal experience in working with others to enact digital-enabled, people-focused collective work practices with a deep analysis of leadership—studied through multiple lenses and timely sources of knowledge—to provide readers with original insights into why these practices work.

The result is a series of evidence-based pathways for reinventing collective performance across organizations in a post-pandemic world.

From large corporations to small businesses, the lessons learned in this landmark book, implemented individually and collectively over time, will make our workplaces more equal, our jobs more gratifying, and our economies more profitable. And that will make the world a better place.
