What's the book about?
Zane Savage feels like he is on top of the world. After successfully ousting the company’s previous CEO in a carefully executed coup and taking over the reins himself, he finally has the entire company right where he wants it: enthusiastically following his lead. Or so he thinks.
In an unexpected turn of events, Zane suddenly finds himself at a remote place, surrounded by influential actors in business and government, and at the mercy of somebody he had hoped to leave in his past. What follows is a fascinating learning journey through science, philosophy, and the newest frontiers of leadership development. Zane begins to understand a concept that he has been blind to for most of his life: the power of connectivity. From his broken marriage to his distrusting leadership team to his relationships with his closest family members, no stone is left unturned as Zane is transformed with and by the people around him—until he emerges with a new understanding of the reality of relation and its fundamental meaning for his work, life, and leadership.
In this compelling page-turner, Jim Ferrell manages once again to take the reader on a journey of discovery and transformation along with the protagonist. We question our understanding of life as he does his. We are transformed by a new understanding of what holds this world together as we witness the effects of it playing out in the group. And, like Zane, we discover what it means to be a human being, and a leader, in a world where everything is connected.
From the author
You and We is a culmination of all I have learned over my years researching, training, advising, and mentoring leaders and working with them to transform their organizational ecosystems. In a way, it is a powerful 2.0 to my earlier works—a work that attempts to correct misconceptions and move understanding and application forward in even more dynamic directions. It details not only the best way I have learned to lead and run organizations, but also the best method for stitching the human family together in the face of our many threats.
