Speed Lead: Simpler Ways to Manage People, Projects and Teams in Complex Companies - Hardcover

This book describes how to simplify the ways we work together in complex companies to increase speed and clarity, save money and provide a more satisfying place to work. Use this approach and see significant improvements: speed up your teams and projects by up to 25 per cent; reduce unnecessary time spend on cooperation, communication and control by up to 20 per cent; improve staff satisfaction by 10-20 per cent. Instead of training people to cope better with complexity, it is better to cut through it. You can find simple, practical tools in this book to help you do just that. Kevan's challenging but practical ideas and tools have enabled organizations to significantly reduce international activity and project cycle times; build closer international business relationships and reduce the costs of unnecessary travel and communication.
