Marc Harrison, the visionary leader of one of America's most innovative healthcare systems, has written a groundbreaking guide that empowers leaders to face their fears, transcend discord and polarization, and drive positive systemic change.

When Harrison became CEO of Intermountain Healthcare, one of the nation's largest healthcare systems, the organization was already well-regarded and financially stable. Nevertheless, Harrison led an ambitious transformation that has unleashed Intermountain's workforce to look beyond the organization and tackle a range of problems that have both the healthcare industry and our broader society.

Bucking the prevailing culture of conflict and polarization, leaders at all levels are empowered to convene diverse stakeholders in unorthodox ways to solve problems that affect everyone. This radical approach is unique in American business and is working.

In Possibility Unleashed, Harrison shares the lessons he has learned from his experience at Intermountain Healthcare, including:

Talking to your "enemies": Embracing an outsiders perspective: Navigating identity politics while acknowledging and leveraging cultural differences: Breaking out of habitual domains to solve problems: Building relationships and partnering with your competitors: Addressing social issues that are more connected to organizational success than you may think: Pursuing the right kind of growth: Creating a culture of both hard-driving performance and kindness.

This bold approach to leadership is not only proving to be remarkably effective but pragmatic, results-oriented, collaborative, and healing. It enables leaders to have a far greater impact on society while also building strong, financially healthy organizations where people love to work.

Harrison's inspiring book shows readers how to apply these lessons to their own organizations and lives, enabling them to create a more positive and prosperous future for all.
