When Marc Harrison became CEO of Intermountain Healthcare, the organization was already a well-regarded and financially stable player in the industry. 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 hobbled 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. It's a radical approach that is unique in American business—and it's working.

In Possibility Unleashed, learn the lessons of: talking to your "enemies"; embracing an outsider's 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; and creating a culture of both hard-driving performance and kindness.

You can have a far greater impact on society than you realize while also building strong, financially healthy organizations where people love to work. This inspiring book shows you how.
