A powerful force draws people to leadership in countless businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and social movements—we call it invisible leadership. Invisible leadership embodies situations in which dedication to a compelling and deeply held common purpose is the motivating force for leadership. Common purpose is more than a mission statement. It is a profound sense of common destiny, a life course or calling, aligned with a mission that resonates profoundly with our values and our sense of ourselves and others. This readable, research-based book shows readers how invisible leadership exists in the space between leaders and followers, artists and subjects, and purposes and people. Rather than reinforcing the idea that leadership is embodied in celebrity leaders or in gifted and charismatic individuals, the well known and highly admired authors of this insightful new book identify "charisma of purpose" as the motivating force for invisible leadership. A brief discussion of how invisible leadership impacts businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and social movements guides the reader toward an understanding of the antecedents and possibilities of this way of thinking.

The Best Leaders Aren't People Instead, innovative and emerging research shows that a compelling and other-centered authentic purpose--The Invisible Leader--may be the most powerful influencer of our behaviors, attitudes, and motivation in organizations, work, school, and life. Yet despite the increasing evidence of purpose's power, many of the organizations, systems, and institutions which dominate human life aren't built to elicit and leverage the fundamental human search for purpose and meaning. In this must-read book for anyone who considers themselves a leader, international speaker, trainer, and organizational performance scholar Zach Mercurio shows business leaders, educators, students, athletes, and parents how to AWAKEN, CLARIFY, and DELIVER their reason for existence--their authentic purpose. Personal, researched, and even mind-shifting, the tools in the The Invisible Leader will help you lead with authentic purpose and build a life and organization that matters.

In The Invisible Leader, Zach Mercurio explains why bringing purpose into the workplace is a business imperative and shares valuable insights on how to unleash its power within yourself and your organization." - Lynne Doughtie, U.S. Chairman & CEO, KPMG "Nothing inspires or motivates people more than purpose - to know that our lives and our work can make a difference. The Invisible Leader is a profoundly practical guide to empowering people with purpose so that your organization can make the greatest possible impact." - Andrew Ripley, Co-Founder & CEO, PurposeMatch.com "A compelling, research-based case for elevating a shared "why" to its rightful place: as the invisible leader that pulls us all forward.

The lexicon of transformation has entered the mainstream of society. Ideas and innovative paradigms of transformation and spiritual awakening have found their way into corporate America, and into the hearts and minds of visionary leaders everywhere. As leaders seek to cure social ills, as executives seek to energize and humanize the work place, as individuals seek to live out their deepest values, new dialogue is taking place. Invisible Leadership enters the scene with an invisible form of leadership: an expanded consciousness that is the yeast that leavens all other leadership skills, abilities and agendas. As leaders, we have an opportunity -- no, an obligation -- to not only awaken our own soul to its true power, but also those of our employees and colleagues, and to provide a setting to not only achieve our goals, but to find true potential and fulfillment. Rabbin asserts that the mystical experience of unitive consciousness is the prerequisite for effective leadership.

This book helps managers recognize hidden gems in the workplace and learn how to utilize them for their greatest impact. Think you can spot the leaders in your company? Don’t assume that you can identify them by their positions. What about those employees who consistently step up: the field agent who solves a previously intractable problem; the service rep who thinks outside the box and creates unshakeable customer loyalty. These are more than “good employees”, these are “hidden leaders” and they are critical to an organization’s long-term success. Managers today need to make the most of all their resources—and The Hidden Leader shows them how to identify and cultivate these talented but under utilized employees, who: Demonstrate integrity Lead through authentic relationships Focus on results Work from clear customer purpose Fulfill the value promise of the company Don’t settle for the traditional feedback that tells you these are “good employees” who deserve a pat on the back and a 3 percent increase at the end of the year. These hidden leaders will soon be pulled out by another organization giving them the opportunity they deserve. Supported by real-world examples of hidden leaders in action--and QR codes readers can scan for instant access to online assessments--The Hidden Leader helps managers discover these secret saviors and enable them to deliver even greater value to customers.

An inspiring look at the hidden stars in every field who perform essential work without recognition In a culture where so many strive for praise and glory, what kind of person finds the greatest reward in anonymous work? Expanding from his acclaimed Atlantic article, "What Do Fact-Checkers and Anesthesiologists Have in Common?" David Zweig explores what we can all learn from a modest group he calls "Invisibles." Their careers require expertise, skill, and dedication, yet they receive little or no public credit. And that's just fine with them. Zweig met with a wide range of Invisibles to discover first hand what motivates them and how they define success and satisfaction. His fascinating subjects include: * a virtuoso cinematographer for major films. * the lead engineer on some of the world's tallest skyscrapers. * a high-end perfume maker. * an elite interpreter at the United Nations. Despite the diversity of their careers, Zweig found that all Invisibles embody the same core traits. And he shows why the rest of us might be more fulfilled if we followed their example.
