How to Unleash and Sustain Fierce Execution and Nonstop Innovation

Business today is about distinctive competitive strategies, game-changing technologies, and creative social media and marketing. But the most successful organizations, those built on fierce execution and nonstop innovation, work as distinctively as they compete.

The lessons and case studies are a cutting-edge agenda for recruiting, evaluating, organizing, and retaining talent.
