While most leadership manuals rely on theory, this framework is rooted in hard evidence. Eric Thomas and CJ Quinney commissioned a groundbreaking national study with a premier U.S. research firm—weighted to Census standards—to uncover the truth about modern teams. The results were undeniable:
79% of people would choose distributed leadership over the outdated "lone hero" model.
Our data proves that teams who make this shift see a massive surge in innovation, execution, and talent utilization.
Yet, 74.5% of workers report that leaders are blocking this growth because they are terrified of letting go.
This proprietary, high-level research cost tens of thousands to generate, but it's yours FREE when you pre-order We Is Greater Than Me. Get the empirical credibility you need to transform your organization today.

Every mission-driven team leader wants to build a team that wins at the highest level. Yet after working with leaders across universities, global corporations, and high-performance organizations, we know that the vast majority of them are losing the battle against underperformance — not because they lack talent, but because they are stuck in the trap of individualism.
The result is that most leaders end up experiencing burnout, isolation, and the heartbreak of watching talented teams fall short of their true potential — on repeat.
Eric Thomas, Ph.D. and Carlas "CJ" Quinney Jr. know all about helping leaders overcome the kind of exhaustion and frustration that comes from trying to carry a team on their own. Together, they've spent decades in the trenches with leaders — from grassroots organizations to global platforms — and they've developed a powerful, research-backed framework for distributed leadership that has transformed how teams think, operate, and win.
In We Is Greater Than Me, ET and CJ share bold insights and real-world leadership stories that help mission-driven leaders avoid the most costly mistakes in leadership today. This book will help you to:


Stop trying to be the
lone hero carrying
everything alone

Overcome the underperformance trap
caused by individualism

Be free from the burnout cycle that comes with top-down leadership

Build trust-based systems
that empower every person on your team

Achieve collective execution that produces results no individual effort can match

Experience the kind of
winning that lasts — long
after you step away


Years ago, when I first started studying leadership and high performance, I was so fired up. I thought I had it figured out. Grind harder. Outwork everyone. Be the one people need.
But something was wrong.
The harder I pushed — the more I saw people burning out.
The more I leaned on my own hustle — the more I watched talented teams stall out the moment I stepped back. And the more I tried to be the leader — the more I realized I was unknowingly becoming the ceiling for the very people I
was trying to elevate.
I've worked with Fortune 500 companies, college athletic programs, school districts, and some of the most recognizable names in business. And over and over again, I kept seeing the same pattern: incredible talent. Zero collective power.
It broke my heart. It made me angry. And it gave me a mission.
Because I know what it feels like to fight for something bigger than yourself. I know what it feels like to want MORE for your team — more wins, more impact, more legacy.
And I know what it feels like to keep grinding without the results you know are possible.
That's why CJ and I wrote this book.
We Is Greater Than Me is not theory. It's the blueprint we LIVED. It's the model we built ETA on. And it's the framework that has helped leaders across the world stop carrying the load alone and start building teams that WIN — together.
If any of that resonates with you — if you're tired of the grind without the results, if you know your team has more in them, if you want to build something that lasts beyond you — then I
want to personally invite you to pre-order this book.
It will change the way you lead. And it will change the people around you.
Let's go. 🔥
