To survive in a complicated competitive world it is not always about having the fastest management speed and transaction, but more about significant leadership and transformation. Kevin Cashman presents a paradoxical theory that will help an organization win its battle in this increasingly volatile and ambiguous market. He captures the necessity of today’s leaders having to step back to get new perspectives to rebuttal with greater impact. The Pause Principle details a catalytic process to guide the readers to step back to lead forward in three critical areas: personal leadership, development of others, and fostering of cultures of innovation. This book is a prescription for all the readers who are suffering from hurry sickness.
