Episode #032: Adam Bryant, New York Times Bestselling Author of Quick and Nimble
Read to Lead Podcast - Podcast tekijän mukaan Jeff Brown - Tiistaisin
New York Times bestselling author Adam Bryant and I seem to have a few things in common.
He’s spent a good portion of his career in media. I’ve spent my entire career in broadcasting. He interviews CEOs for his New York Times column. I interview authors for my podcast. He’s incredibly good-looking. I’m…well…okay. So, two-out-of-three ain’t bad, right?
In his latest book, Quick and Nimble: Lessons from Leading CEOs on How to Create a Culture of Innovation, Adam draws on interviews with more than two hundred CEOs to offer business leaders the wisdom and guidance to move an organization faster, to be quick and nimble, and to rekindle the whatever-it-takes collective spark of a start-up, all with the goal of innovating and thriving in a relentlessly challenging global economy.
