Producing Rapid Results while building long-term capacity for change, in the context of longer-term visions and strategies, is the challenge we have laid out for executives in this book. It does not require substantial training, a long-term executive education program, or any other kind of “reformation” or rewiring. On the contrary, you can move into this territory at once. All it requires is the will to get started, to experiment, and to learn along the way.
