He is a co-author with Brian Carney of the award-winning international best-seller Freedom, Inc., translated to a dozen of languages, author of the award-winning the Liberated Company (2017) and together with Bob Davids and Brian Carney of Leadership without Ego (2018). Getz's work and action have been instrumental in the rise of the corporate liberation movement in Europe.

In a recent study by FNEGE (the french national foundation for the management and business education), 1600 French managers have named him to list of the world 50 most influential management thinkers. Isaac Getz’s work has been featured in the wall street journal, Forbes, Strategy+Business, Financial Times, The Globe and Mail, Le Monde, il Sole 24 Ore and other leading media on four continents.
