Today's business environment demands leapfroggers--those who create rapid, disruptive innovation, not small improvements. A leading innovation pioneer shows that businesses often ignore the very thing that could lead them to game-changing products--the power of surprise. How did Gatorade revitalize itself in the wake of Red Bull and Starbucks? How did Etsy come to be? How did Four Seasons become the world's leading luxury hotel brand? What makes one leader or company thrive while others languish in mediocrity? Kaplan gives business leaders the tools to do exactly what they're taught to avoid: embrace uncertainty and invite surprises. Leapfrogging connects new research, unconventional strategies, and practical tools for navigating the seemingly "messy" process of achieving business breakthroughs.

Customer Reviews

Leapfrogging / Soren Kaplan

“Though Richard Waterhouse's performance sounds laid-back and friendly, he's conscientious about making every word clear and capturing every nuance in this smoothly written, fascinating book. The author uses his experience with top-shelf corporations and a gift for storytelling to show how remarkable innovations appear when companies go beyond defining goals and following set plans. Businesses leapfrog ahead of the competition into magical realms when they embrace uncertainty and look for ideas from unexpected sources--especially customers. Listening to customers carefully and seeing things through their eyes, leaders can keep from getting stuck in limiting mindsets or bureaucratic routines. The narrator's boyish tone works well for the book's central message that breakthrough products and services require humility and openness to surprise.” ~AudioFile
