Publisher Description
Become a better crisis leader while equipping yourself with the tools for every day transformative leadership
Today, in an instant, leaders can find themselves face-to-face with crisis. An active shooter. A media controversy. A data breach. In You’re It, the faculty of the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative at Harvard University takes you to the front lines of some of the toughest decisions facing our nation’s leaders-from how to mobilize during a hurricane or in the aftermath of a bombing to halting a raging pandemic. They also take readers through the tough decision-making inside the world’s largest companies, hottest startups, and leading nonprofits.
The authors introduce readers to the pragmatic model and methods of Meta-Leadership. They show you how to understand what is happening during a moment of crisis and change, what to do about it, and how to hone these skills to lead high-performing teams. Then, when crisis hits, you can pivot to be the leader people follow when it matters most.
A book for turbulent times, You’re It is essential reading for anyone preparing to lead an adaptive team through crisis and change.

Meta- Leadership has fundamentally changed both the way I think about and practice leadership. I have integrated many of the concepts to include, the “walk in the woods”, “cone in the cube’, “swarm leadership” and “going to the basement” into my leadership philosophy and my daily approach to getting the most out of my teammates and the ~600,000 men and women who serve in the United States Air Force. The core principles are easily understood and applicable to a first-time supervisor as well as a CEO; I have implemented these concepts in my daily interactions with my senior executive team and presented them to thousands during keynote addresses, executive development programs and small group discussions and the feedback has been phenomenal! Meta-Leadership has made me a better executive, supervisor and teammate.
