Old-fashioned skills are too expensive and too slow to use in complex companies. Speed Lead distills the experience of more than 35,000 people in over 200 leading companies. The resulting radical view has enabled organizations to unravel the spaghetti of complexity, reduce project cycle times, and curb the costs of unnecessary travel. Reviews "We all want our companies to be faster, simpler and easier to run - this refreshing blend of challenging ideas and practical tools shows us how." —Karl Kahofer, Group President Rubbermaid, IRWIN Group Europe & Asia Pacific "Great management and leadership includes application of a lot of common sense. This book contains the sort of practical help and guidance that you can dip into and refresh your common sense quotient. Keep it close!" —Christine Betts, Senior Director, Audience Marketing, Microsoft "A much needed new look at managing and leading in complex modern organisations. Practical tools you can implement to speed up your company." —Bob Morton, Head of People Development Competence Centre, Europe - MEA, Ciba Specialty Chemicals "SPEED is the key word for companies in the Asia Pacific Rim: China, Japan and Korea. Kevan's remarkable new book comes from his long practical experience and is based on Creativity and Innovation, Simplicity and Ease of applicability for managers of global companies. New tools and techniques from this book can be applied in many different countries without any cultural difference." —Professor Jae Ho Park, Founder of GRCIOP and Professor of IO Psychology at Yeungnam University, South Korea "Organizations are getting ever more complex. Globalization, technology and scale can lead to growth and success, but they also bring dysfunctional baggage. Kevan shows how to get off the organizational 'hamster wheel' and focus on what is important." —Geoff Armstrong, Director General, Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development
