Getting It Done: How to Lead When You're Not in Charge

By Roger Fisher, Alan Sharp

Negotiation expert Roger Fisher and consultant Alan Sharp explain how people can lead from any position in a team or organization. They describe lateral leadership: setting clear purposes, thinking systematically, learning from experience, engaging others and giving feedback. The book shows how anyone can improve how a group works together by asking questions, offering ideas and modeling good behavior. Exercises and examples help readers apply the approach.

Shane Parrish: “I picked up this book because I noticed it had blurbs on the back by Charlie Munger and Robert Cialdini. Hard to miss, right? The title previews the content of the book pretty well — the authors call it Lateral Leadership and discuss how it applies in a few different arenas.”
