Love and Strategy

by David Meyer

Francis Frei and Anne Morriss – co-authors of Uncommon Service – offer a kinder, gentler, more conscious path to inspiring and uniting employees.

Harvard Business School professor Frances Frei recently served as Uber’s first senior vice president of leadership and strategy. Leadership coach Anne Morriss is the executive founder of The Leadership Consortium. Together, they revile the conventional wisdom that maintains leaders must be self-centered to inspire their workforce. Frei and Morriss demonstrate the value of focusing less on yourself and more on making everyone around you better. They offer a compelling, unsentimental case for building an organizational foundation based on trust and love.

Your job is to see the full humanity of the people you seek to lead, including their ability to evolve.Francis Frei and Anne Morriss
