Summary

• "Leading the Revolution. An action plan for any company or individual intent on becoming and staying an industry revolutionary, this book will ignite the passions of entry-level assistants, neophyte managers, seasoned VPs, CEOs, and anyone else who worries that their company may be caught flat-footed by the future.".
• "Hamel argues that in an increasingly nonlinear world, only nonlinear ideas will create new wealth. To thrive in the age of revolution, companies must adopt a radical new innovation agenda. The fundamental challenge companies face is reinventing themselves and their industries not just in times of crisis - but continually.".
• "Based on an extensive study of "gray-haired revolutionaries," including Enron, Charles Schwab, Cisco, Virgin, and GE Capital, Leading the Revolution: explains the underlying principles of radical innovation; explores where revolutionary new business concepts come from; identifies the key design criteria for building companies that are activist-friendly and revolution-ready; and details the steps your company must take to make innovation an enduring capability.".
• "Leading the Revolution is for everyone who has the guts to act on the knowledge that our heritage is no longer our destiny. With a compelling message that will set the new innovation agenda for the next century, this book from the premier business thinker of our time is a call to arms for the dreamers and doers who will lead us into the age of revolution."--BOOK JACKET.
