123: Co-Elevation: How To Lead with Positive Influence and Collaboration, with Keith Ferrazzi

Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Podcasts in Careers!

“Your job as a leader is not to lead as an individual, but to foster the environment of co-elevation amongst your team. That’s the key, because your team needs to become co-elevators of each other.” - Keith Ferrazzi

I’m doing something a bit differently on today’s special episode. I was recently having a conversation on the phone with someone I admire and respect a good deal, and what he was sharing with me was so rich and helpful that I knew I had to ask him if we could record our talk for the wonderful Finding Brave listeners. And he said YES!

Keith Ferrazzi is recognized as a global thought leader in the relational and collaborative sciences. As Chairman of Ferrazzi Greenlight and its Research Institute, he works to identify behaviors that block global organizations from reaching their goals and to transform them by coaching new behaviors that increase growth and shareholder value.

A New York Times #1 best-selling author of Who’s Got Your Back and Never Eat Alone, as well as a frequent contributor to Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Fortune and many other leading publications, Keith’s gained over 20 years of experience, from the C-Suite to founding his own companies, and distilled those years and experiences into practices and solutions he brings to every engagement. In this show, Keith reveals how co-elevation is a key foundational behavior that we can all use to lead, connect and elevate ourselves and others powerfully and effectively, even without pre-established “authority.”
