We suppress individuality without even knowing it. We inadvertently keep people functioning far below their full capacity. We fail to see and support each other’s full humanity. As a result, people hold themselves back.

We can’t afford to have people feeling stifled as we tackle our most urgent challenges, to:

thrive in perpetual uncertainty

We suppress individuality without even knowing it. We inadvertently keep people functioning far below their full capacity. We fail to see and support each other’s full humanity. As a result, people hold themselves back.

We can’t afford to have people feeling stifled as we tackle our most urgent challenges, to:

thrive in perpetual uncertainty
lead or advance within hybrid remote teams
elevate our commitment to health and wellbeing
achieve true diversity and inclusion

The temptation is to try to solve for each separately. But all are linked and can be addressed when we recognize they all share the same major obstacle: suppressed individuality. Author and strategist Glenn Llopis breaks individuality down into its component parts and offers a practical method to help you continuously assess, interrupt and pivot from suppressing to unleashing.

This is your new playbook. It’s packed with:

Individual stories of people unleashing individuality
Demonstrations of cross-sector collaboration in action
Practical tools and methods to get started immediately.

Whatever you’re trying to accomplish, you need people at their fullest capacities connecting with and elevating each other as they contribute to a shared mission, individually and collectively. Interrupt your assumptions about who belongs where, doing what, and how. We make assumptions about capabilities based on education or experience. We make assumptions about personality based on groups we (often unconsciously) associate people with. We make assumptions about how someone should perform a task based on how it’s been done in the past. How stifling!

This book will teach you the skill of interrupting those assumptions. It’s painful to realize how much we hold ourselves and others back. But it’s also freeing to see that we have the power to unleash ourselves and others. Let’s unleash each other. Show less

Society is more diverse than ever. People are more informed than ever. Employees and consumers are prouder of their individuality and seek influence, a sense of contribution, and purpose like never before. Welcome to the age of personalization.

Most organizations and leaders say they want to empower people to contribute at their fullest capacity. They “know” individuality and inclusion make us stronger. And yet they remain stuck in standardization—their offices filled with frustrated and… Show more

Society is more diverse than ever. People are more informed than ever. Employees and consumers are prouder of their individuality and seek influence, a sense of contribution, and purpose like never before. Welcome to the age of personalization.

Most organizations and leaders say they want to empower people to contribute at their fullest capacity. They “know” individuality and inclusion make us stronger. And yet they remain stuck in standardization—their offices filled with frustrated and exhausted employees consumed by delivering transactional results in the present instead of sustainable and significant growth for the future. Everyone just playing it safe and doing what they’re told. Individuality? Inclusion? Nice ideas but who has the time? Let the business define the individual. No. That’s the standardization trap.

Glenn Llopis has been in this trap and he knows the way out. In Leadership in the Age of Personalization, he shows leaders and organizations how to break free from entrenched habits, escape the trap, and:

-Turn diversity into inclusion.
-Stop being tribal and start seeing each other as human.
-Invigorate the shared mission by elevating individual identities and contribution.
-Free people from the tyranny of outdated metrics and activate methods that lead to success and
significance.

This is easier said than done. Because personalization spooks standardization and, when threatened, standardization fights back, hard. It’s time to free ourselves from the standardization traps of the past. And it all starts with two words: let go. Show less

We all have control over the path to prosperity. Progression along that path is the result of a rare combination of skills that readers can develop and apply in their careers, businesses, and lives. These four skills are

Seeing with circular vision: Broaden your observation beyond what you seek and beyond the obvious details before you, and enlarge your field of opportunities; search within conversations and adverse circumstances for possibilities.

Sowing entrepreneurial seeds: When good vision is met with consistent, hand-dirtying execution every day the result is a stable, growing fortune; focus on proper timing and proper depth.

Growing seeds with the greatest potential: Learn how to recognize the most promising opportunities and give them the right amount of attention; don’t let the best opportunities wilt and don’t waste energy on opportunities with limited potential. Show less
