The Inside Job

""When you find yourself working in your enterprise's Incubation Zone, you quickly realize that, unlike with the Performance Zone or the Productivity Zone, there is no established playbook to work from. Well, now there is. Ed Essey's The Inside Job is as good as it gets."" Geoffrey A. Moore, author of Crossing the Chasm and Zone to Win ""The Inside Job is a book about the inner work that each of us needs to do to become a better-more confident, caring, and effective-human being. Packed with wisdom and tools in equal measure, this is a book to be put to immediate use."" Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at Harvard Business School and author of Right Kind of Wrong ""Ed Essey combines real-world stories, practical tools, and hard-won wisdom to create a field guide for anyone trying to drive meaningful change from within."" Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way ""The Inside Job is a rare combination: a compelling narrative with tools that stand up in real organizations. Ed Essey translates the complex into something clear, teachable, and immediately actionable."" Nicole Forsgren, PhD, coauthor of Accelerate and Frictionless ""For too long, intrapreneurs played defense inside big companies. The Inside Job hands you the offensive playbook-how to think like a founder, act like a builder, and create real growth from within."" Marcus Daniels, founding partner and CEO at Highline Beta
