Excitement and uncertainty, in larger and more frequent doses, will define business and change management from here on out. To successfully navigate these uncertain waters, you and your crew will need to both understand business agility and practice to master its use to survive and thrive in these mounting seas of change.
Colossal mega trends combined with a perfect storm of precarious economic, geopolitical and societal circumstances will make the choppy economic seas of the past look calm in comparison. No business will be safe using tools, methods and management styles developed for yesterday’s business as usual.
The pace of change will be frantic and to cope will require a flexible, more agile state of mind, plus powerful tools to help you remain focused upon what is coming instead of measuring and anal-eyes-ing what has already occurred.
Get Agile Now!
Here is a book packed with simple, practical tools to prepare you and your crew for the ride of your life! Whether you are running a small or medium enterprise, or grappling with the demands of a super large, multinational concern, being agile in thought, action and result is now a necessity. It is no longer only about making good decisions; it is about mastering powerful tools to implement changes effectively. It’s about executing change with decisive and engaging leadership skills; to powerfully communicate with everyone involved to get them on board to quickly create measurable results.
Praise for "Mastering Agility"
“The message is clear: listen to what’s going on with all your senses. Get your business associates and partners to do the same. Pay attention. Get agile....“
Bob Waterman, Co-Author; In Search of Excellence, Author; The Renewal Factor, Adhocracy – the Power to Change, What America Does Right
“Hans Amell has written a really important book. For a couple of decades now we have seen a lot of volatility. This is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. This book provides the reader with a sound intellectual framework for how to cope in different volatile situations using agility as a headline for different activities. It also gives a number of more practical advice coming from the vast experience of the author’s long life in the corporate sector. It is a book I really recommend for anyone entrusted with leading companies in the next volatile decade….”
Leif Johansson; Chairman Ericsson & AstraZeneca
“Mastering Agility offers a timely look at some of the global political, economic, technological and social forces rocking today's corporate world and offers plenty of well-crafted advice for not only staying afloat, but sailing ahead. It is a must read for business leaders who want to navigate the sea of changes taking place…”
Dr. John W. Graham, Ph.D, Professor of Economics, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
“Terrific opportunities! This book charts a clear course for your C-suite to consider for quickly and easily leading the business through the 'perfect storms' of uncertainty.... “
Hans Levenbach, President Delphus Inc. MS, MA, PhD, Co-Author; Forecasting, Practice and Process for Demand Management
“Hans is the very definition of intellectual, emotional and physical agility. His vision and belief in Platinum Equity when we were just starting out made an indelible impact, and over the past two decades I have seen firsthand his power to think creatively, act decisively and inspire others to succeed..."
