Keith Ferrazzi

Keith Ferrazzi revolutionized professional networking in 2005 with Never Eat Alone, and he has spent the two decades since helping organizations move from the individual leadership model to what he now calls teamship — the idea that the highest performing organizations are those where everyone leads together. Founder of Ferrazzi Greenlight and the Greenlight Research Institute, Ferrazzi has spent more than 20 years coaching Fortune 500 companies, unicorn startups, and governments. He speaks on team transformation, authentic connection, talent management, and leading through disruption.

Never Lead Alone
Ferrazzi’s latest book, Never Lead Alone: 10 Shifts from Leadership to Teamship, draws on more than 3,000 organizational diagnostic assessments and is built on research showing that 81 percent of team members believe they collectively fail to reach their full potential. His earlier titles — The Alliance, Leading Without Authority, and Competing in the New World of Work — are all New York Times bestsellers.

The Research Behind the Message
Ferrazzi writes regularly for Harvard Business Review, Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, Fortune, and Fast Company. He has received the Golden Gavel Best Global Speaker Award, the Thinkers 50 Award, and in 2024 was named to the Coaches 50 list recognizing the world’s most influential executive coaches.

Keith Ferrazzi delivers keynotes on teamship, authentic connection, talent management, and leading organizations through AI-era disruption.

Leading Without Authority

Collaboration Just Isn’t Enough Anymore

Managing your network is how we get things done. We need to cut across silos and manage the interdependencies to find true innovation.   The true responsibility for you as a leader is to shift your point of view to leading from inside your network – become the leader of the network, whether you’re a member or whether you’re officially the facilitator of that group of individuals.  Yes, even if you are not in charge, you must take charge. The responsibility is for everything, and it starts with you.

KEY TAKE-AWAYS:

• Creating A “Co-Creation” Agenda
• Owning Each Other’s, And The Organization’s, Success
• Greater Commitment To Working Interdependently
