Omschrijving

How do great leaders thrive in uncertain times? By changing their mindsets about power.
“A leadership manifesto like you’ve never read before. Every page is eye-opening, provocative and energising.” Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit
“This book is a breakthrough. I’m buying a dozen copies to share with friends and colleagues.” Seth Godin, author of The Practice
“Matthew Barzun might well be the first modest man to write a great book on leadership. This is a gift.” Richard Thaler, Novel Prize laureate and co-author of Nudge

What if the biggest obstacle to organizational performance is your leadership structure itself?

For decades, we've debated top-down versus bottom-up leadership. But both approaches trap organizations in the same outdated shape: the Pyramid. The Pyramid, with its hoarded authority and rigid hierarchies, blocks the innovation, agility, and engagement that modern businesses desperately need.
The alternative is Constellations: a fundamentally different organizational model that distributes power strategically rather than centralizing it.
Drawing on his experience as an entrepreneur, political campaigner, and U.S. Ambassador, Matthew Barzun reveals how the Constellation approach transforms teams into dynamic networks where each member operates as both an autonomous leader and an integrated collaborator.

What you'll learn:


Why conventional hierarchy fails at speed, creativity, and talent retention
How to structure teams as interconnected networks that scale without bureaucracy
Why giving away power multiplies your influence and organizational capacity

These principles drove a digital payments revolution, built the world's largest encyclopaedia, and reinvented political organizing. Barzun distils case studies from Visa, Wikipedia, and Obama's presidential campaigns into actionable insights for leaders navigating complexity, managing distributed teams, and building cultures of innovation.
The Power of Giving Away Power shows you how to lead by distributing authority. The question is whether you can afford not to.
