Meteoric: How to Achieve Success through Innovation, Influence, and Leadership

by Adam Braus

The most successful people and companies constantly innovate. Whether they are at the bottom of the totem pole or in the C-suite. But in great institutions, ideas for change don't come only from the top, they come from everyone. How do the most successful organizations and teams empower all their people to innovate?

In Meteoric, San Francisco-based entrepreneur, professor, and product manager, Adam Braus suggests that a key factor in innovation was lost in translation. Nemawashi —or piecemeal consensus—is a Japanese management technique that was ignored when lean and agile migrated from the island nation to the west. Nemawashi is the oil in the engine of an agile company—without it innovation grinds to a standstill. In this book, Braus distills this new way to lead change into a simple five-step process. Braus tells engaging real-life stories from startups, small businesses, and large innovative companies to explain how individuals, teams, and companies can use this breakout method of career and business success.

Meteoric is a complete course in a new and timeless way to lead that anyone can put into practice in their career, with their team, or at any organization.
