Jeremy Heimans, the CEO of Purpose, a company that supports businesses and organizations working on social movements like fighting COVID-19 disinformation, and Henry Timms, who created #GivingTuesday, a global philanthropy day that follows Black Friday and Cyber Monday, coauthored "New Power."
In this book — which business visionaries like Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin Group, and Reid Hoffman, the cofounder of LinkedIn, recommend — the authors examine the rise of companies like Facebook and Uber, people like President Barack Obama, and movements like #MeToo. The book offers a new way to look at power and how to use it for good.
Clarke Murphy, the CEO of the management consultancy Russell Reynolds Associates and the author of the forthcoming book "Sustainable Leadership," recommended "New Power" for its analysis on leadership.
"The book clearly sets out how rapidly changing business models will demand flatter structures, more collaboration and supercharged communication," he said. "It articulates how more sustainable businesses learn collectively, how they have less hierarchy, and how they adapt faster as new power structures create more agile and decisive cultures."
