Why purpose and meaning drive success, by the 'in-house philosopher' at LinkedIn.
Fred Kofman (Author)
FRED KOFMAN is the vice president of executive development and
leadership philosopher at LinkedIn. He is an economist trained at
UC Berkeley and has taught more than 15,000 executives. He mentors
several CEOs from Silicon Valley companies, and he has worked with
Sheryl Sandberg and Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft. As Sheryl
Sandberg writes in Lean In, Kofman "will transform the way you live
and work."
Reid Hoffman (Foreword By)
Reid Hoffman is co-founder of LinkedIn, the biggest professional
social network in the world with 100+ million members. Previously
he was executive vice president of PayPal. He is also a partner at
Greylock, a leading Silicon Valley venture capital firm, and a
director at Microsoft. He has been an early investor in over 100
technology companies, including Facebook and Zynga. He is widely
viewed as one of the most successful investors of all time.
Fred’s teachings changed my career and my life. He is one of the
most extraordinary thinkers on leadership and management I have
ever encountered.
*Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO and founder of LeanIn.Org &
OptionB.Org*
Fred is one of the most enlightened people I’ve met in business.
Over the last decade, he has consistently provided me insights that
have changed the way I see myself and connect with others. The
Meaning Revolution will do the same for you.
*Jeff Weiner, CEO of LinkedIn*
Kofman argues that vocational growth and personal growth are
inextricable, and he is well positioned to make that argument. . .
. You can’t read this book without asking yourself deep and
invaluable questions about your life and your calling.
*Robert Wright, senior lecturer at Princeton; author of THE
EVOLUTION OF GOD, THE MORAL ANIMAL, NONZERO, and WHY BUDDHISM IS
TRUE*
The Meaning Revolution reminds us of the importance of moral
authority, trust, compassion, and integrity for effective
leadership. Well written and insightful, the book is a must-read
for all those interested in leadership.
*Drew Fudenberg (professor of economics, MIT) and Jean Tirole
(Nobel Laureate in economics, Toulouse School of Economics);
authors of GAME THEORY*
As Fred Kofman makes brilliantly clear in The Meaning Revolution,
real leadership is not about hitting your numbers—it’s about
creating a culture of purpose and meaning, and inspiring others to
realize that they can make a lasting difference in the world around
them.
*Arianna Huffington*
Welcome to the rigorously reasoned, deeply heartfelt, and always
enlightening mind of Fred Kofman. Trained as an economist, with
stops along the way as a management professor and consultant,
Fred’s official title at LinkedIn is vice president of executive
development. But I have a shorter name for what he does. I call him
the High Priest of Capitalism.
*Reid Hoffman, founder and former chairman of LinkedIn; board
member of Microsoft (from his introduction)*
I believe culture needs to be about realizing personal passions and
using the company as a platform to pursue those passions. Fred
Kofman explores that notion even more deeply through vivid stories
and truly profound reflections on business leadership and conscious
capitalism. Read on!
*Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft*
Fred has accomplished a great feat. He has integrated rationality
and spirituality to show how transcendent leadership is the key for
humanity to prosper in peace.
*John Mackey, founder and former CEO of Whole Foods*
