Seize the competitive advantage by building speed into your leadership DNA
It’s no secret that the pace of change in business today is unprecedented. Leaders who act quickly and inspire others to do the same are the ones who ultimately win the day. Speed reveals essential leadership qualities you can use to improve speed and ultimately drive organizational effectiveness.
The book helps you assess the speed at which you work and make decisions and provides calibration regarding how you compare to 7,000 others in the authors’ database. It then gives you tactics for speeding up critical elements of your day and, finally, explains how you can use the eight companion behaviors―including innovation, develop courage, initiate action, and set stretch goals--that help leaders to increase their speed.

John H. Zenger, D.B.A., is CEO of Zenger Folkman, a firm that helps organizations and individuals improve leadership effectiveness that, in turn, drives business results. These results include increasing employee engagement, retention, productivity, and bottom-line profitability. He is a member of the HRD Hall of Fame and has authored or coauthored eight books and 50 articles on leadership, productivity, and teams.
Joseph R. Folkman, Ph.D., is president of Zenger Folkman. He is an authoritative voice on the subject of creating and using employee surveys to create organizational change and 360- degree feedback assessment for individual development. Folkman is the author of three books: Turning Feedback into Change, Making Feedback Work, and Employee Surveys That Make a Difference.
“With the relentlessly increasing pace of change, speed and agility have become organizational survival skills. Speed is a terrific book with a wealth of practical advice on how to ‘lead with speed’ without diluting executional excellence.”
--Michael A. Peel, Chief Human Resources Officer, Yale University
“Zenger and Folkman have done it again. In Speed, they acknowledge the benefit of leading at a faster pace—but they make it clear that fast is not the same as frantic. Speed must be accompanied by accuracy or all bets are off. Backed by extensive research, the book shows how the most successful leaders achieve an optimum balance of both fast pace and effective execution. A great read!”
--Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The New One Minute Manager® and Collaboration Begins with You
“Making decisions quickly is one thing, making the right decisions is another – only Speed shows you how to do both. Remarkable new tools from the acclaimed Zenger-Folkman team!”
--Marshall Goldsmith – Author of the #1 New York Times bestseller – Triggers.
“For an organization to succeed in today’s world it needs to move quickly. However, organizations cannot be fast with leaders who move slowly. For those who aspire to increase their leadership speed, this book provides simple, powerful solutions.”
--Frances R. Hesselbein, President & CEO, The Frances Hesselbein Leadership Institute, and former CEO of Girl Scouts of America
“In today’s radically shifting environment, speed differentiates. It is no longer enough for leaders to have a great plan, if they can’t move fast; it’s worthless. In such a context, leaders must notice trends early, respond swiftly and iterate quickly. This book demonstrates how the most effective leaders are those who can move fast and execute well.”
--Michael J. Arena, Chief Talent and Development Officer, General Motors Corporation
“Wow. The authors found a competency that few have talked about, but that is crucial for today’s leaders. Opening this book is like unwrapping a gift box—there is a real prize inside.”
--Beverly Kaye, Founder, Career Systems International, and coauthor of Love ‘Em or Lose ‘Em: Getting Good People to Stay and Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go: Career Conversations Employees Want
“A fun, interesting read that leads with data. It dispels the common myth that speed and quality are mutually exclusive and shows it can be both. Indeed, the most effective leaders have figured this out!”
--Craig Helmen, SPHR, Assistant Vice President, Organization Effectiveness and Leadership Development, Allianz
“Speed is another terrific example of how Joe Folkman and Jack Zenger look at real world data in the leadership space, dissect core behaviors that make leaders more effective, and then provide practical ways to execute. It’s not enough that they have provided decades of thought leadership, they are still in the thick of it...bringing simple yet substantive insight to help leaders be better in the modern workplace. Speed is a must for any leader who wants to raise the bar.”
--Joe Garbus, Vice-President, Talent and Leadership, Celgene Corporation
"Wow, they did it again. Jack and Joe use their unique research based approach to demonstrate the clear link between leadership speed and the benefits to individuals, teams and organizations. It's clear to me that in our environment of a continuously increasing pace of change, having equally speedy leaders in our companies will be a critical success factor."
--Pablo Riera Táboas, CEO Grupo P&A, CDO Galifornia Foundation, Spain
