Synopsis

How great companies succeed by building speed into everything they do

Bestselling author Jason Jennings believes that urgency and speed are keys to the growth of any business. Leaders need to adapt and ignite their workplace culture to prevent everyone from falling behind.

Jennings draws on years of research and 11,000+ in-depth interviews with executives, business owners, and CEOs across the country to uncover how successful leaders build a culture that supports constant innovation and growth. Based on his findings, he offers prescriptions for creating teams that consistently grow revenues and profits through a strong purpose, guiding principles to make fast decisions, a laser focus on exceeding customer expectations, and practices that support transparency and accountability.

Writing in his trademark down-to-earth style, and featuring true stories from companies such as Google, Charles Schwab, and Johnson & Johnson, Jennings can help companies think fast and move faster.
