About the Book

Wall Street Journal Bestseller
A Forbes Top Business Book of 2021
McKinsey & Co. Top Business Bestseller – Workplace & Culture

“Critically important reading as our economy struggles to recover the pandemic’s deleterious economic impact that is currently compounded by supply chain issues and the beginnings of an inflationary spiral.”
—The Midwest Book Review

“Provides concrete steps leaders and employees can take to thrive in today’s marketplace, where taking a stand on something important to your customers can become a competitive differentiator.”
—Forbes

The global coronavirus pandemic has thrown into stark relief how “business as usual” is no longer serving us. The economic, business, and environmental models of the past do not reflect our current realities. And for our economy—for us—to survive, we need nothing less than a seismic shift in the way we do business.

Enter Simon Mainwaring, New York Times-bestselling author and founder and CEO of We First. A decade ago, he showed how business leaders and consumers could use social media to build a better world in We First. Now, after decades of research and field experience at the vanguard of the world’s most successful brand revolutions, he provides in Lead With We a blueprint for doing business better in today’s challenged world.

By leading with “we”—putting the collective above the individual, holding the sum above the parts, and emphasizing the importance of the role that everyone plays—you can not only help solve the escalating challenges of today but also unlock extraordinary growth for your business, and abundance on our planet.

Timely and compelling, this book’s message is simple: The future of profit is people’s purpose, aligned. Lead With We not only examines why we must all conduct business differently in order to grow in today’s market, but provides the how—concrete steps any reader, wherever they find themselves in the business hierarchy, can take toward success.

Dan Manning breaks down why movies are the wrong m Dan Manning breaks down why movies are the wrong model for business storytelling. When people watch a movie, they're expecting to be entertained. But in real life, your audience isn't sitting in the dark with popcorn, they're distracted, busy, and skeptical. That's why stories in business must be purposeful, targeted, and designed to influence action, not applause. If you want to lead, you have to tell stories about land. https://bit.ly/TLP-466?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=westudyleadersWatch it on our YouTube channel https://bit.ly/TLP-YT-466?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=westudyleaders#StorytellingThatWorks #BusinessStorytelling #LeadershipPodcast #DanManning #BuildAStory #CommunicationTips #SpeakToLead #MakeThemAct #FighterPilotWisdom #ActionOverEntertainment #SalesStrategy #RealTalk #ContentThatConverts #HumanBehavior #TheLeadershipPodcast
