Updated edition with fresh insights for 2022


‘PUT THIS ON EVERY LEADER’S DESK NOW!’ Jack Milner, Executive Coach


Fans of Matthew Syed, Angela Duckworth, Simon Sinek, Brené Brown, Timothy Ferris and Malcolm Gladwell should read The Power of Us now!


Why do some organisations thrive while others seem paralysed by inaction? How do we become more innovative?

 

The Power of Us is the result of a three-year journey around the world seeking out highly successful companies from BrewDog and Patagonia to inner city schools and renewable energy co-ops to find the answers.

 

Cultivating people-powered innovation enables everyone to collaboratively work to figure things out. We just need to nurture the mindset and culture that makes innovation an everyday occurrence.

 

Consultant, global thought leader and author David Price shows you how with a practical toolkit of ideas centred on 8 key principles:


Trust and Transparency


Engagement and Equity


Autonomy and Agency


Mastery and Meaning


Thought-provoking and incisive, The Power of Us is an urgent call for leaders, teams and individuals to challenge the status quo, transform our lives and rebuild a better world for the future.
