Lead Bigger - by Anne Chow

Book Synopsis

Drawing from over three decades of experience, former CEO of AT&T Business Anne Chow shares groundbreaking strategies for inclusive leadership to transform your workforce, workplace, and business.

For generations, when we've needed to innovate and grow, we've been told to "think bigger"--it's now time to embrace strategic leadership and Lead Bigger.

Inclusion has been overly politicized and narrowly defined to issues of gender and race today. As a result, we need a new approach to inclusive leadership that goes beyond DEI, leveraging its potential for business innovation and sustainable growth. In Lead Bigger, Anne Chow "has written a bona fide leadership masterpiece" (Stephen M.R. Covey, New York Times bestselling author) by reframing inclusion as an essential leadership skill of expanding our perspectives for greater performance in our work, workforce, and workplace.

As former CEO of AT&T Business, Chow was the first woman of color to hold the position of CEO in the company's over 150-year history. Drawing from her expertise in transforming organizations, she shows how it's every leader's responsibility to be inclusive, teaching you how to create a dynamic environment that engages everyone you interact with while adapting to the ever-changing world. This book equips you to lead inclusively, with insights from leadership visionaries General Stanley McChrystal, Arianna Huffington, and Adam Grant.

If you're committed to advancing work that matters, engaging a dynamic workforce, and fostering an agile workplace, you're ready to Lead Bigger.
