The Power of Giving Away Power

In this book, Matthew Barzun argues that great leaders succeed by changing their mindsets about power.

Instead of hoarding power, leaders should distribute it among groups, creating dynamic and flexible networks known as Constellations.

Barzun draws on his experiences in tech, politics, and diplomacy to illustrate how this approach has led to significant innovations and successes in various fields, including examples from Visa, Wikipedia, and Barack Obama's grassroots campaign.

The book emphasizes the importance of recognizing and leveraging the power in others to achieve meaningful change and leadership.
