Hit the Ground Running

Hit the Ground Running by Jason Jennings
Hit the Ground Running

Whether your a CEO, or in a new or established leadership role, this book looks at what the top, new CEOs of this decade did it. How did they figure out what to do, get the company leadership in sync, and execute? Jason asked the same thing and details what he uncovered. Yes, Golden Rule still rules, and making things simpler are on the list (along with others). How they carry it out will give you insight into how to impact your teams.

I talk with Jason about where these CEOs come from, the importance of communication, and what he unexpectedly found while he was putting it all together.
