What it all comes down to is remaining influential without authority, and not abusing the level of authority given. Authority is not put in place to abuse or negatively impact an employee, it is put in place to oversee, guide, and direct employees in any capacity they fall under.

About the author
Jeanette Ortegon, a native of Los Angeles, California is no stranger to adversity and conflict. In the book Shine Without Authority, Jeanette describes a variety of scenarios that could make or break a leader.
Jeanette interviewed a variety of influential leaders from past and present to gain a better perspective of what the relationship between the manager and the subordinate was back then and how it has evolved today.
Jeanette begins her story by disclosing unpleasant details of her childhood so that the readers can gain a better share her journey to becoming a model leader, which also gives readers a personal snapshot of why she is so passionate about effective leadership. Jeanette has overcome hardship and abandonment which taught her independence, critical thinking, valuable interpersonal skills, and the essential approach to lead with influence in the absence of authority.

I wanted to enthusiastically tell a story of how prayer kept me grounded when I was encircled with toxic leadership and to explain how many of the things, I have been exposed to in my life helped me forgive while fighting towards resilience.
