Bestselling authors and cohosts of the TED podcast Fixable Frances Frei and Anne Morriss
reinvent the playbook for how to lead change-with a radical approach that moves fast builds
trust and accelerates excellence. Speed has gotten a bad name in business much of it
deserved. When Facebook made Move fast and break things an informal company motto it fueled a
widely held belief that we can either make progress or take care of people one or the other. A
certain amount of wreckage is the price we have to pay for inventing the future. Leadership
experts Frances Frei and Anne Morriss argue that this belief is deeply flawed-and that it keeps
you from building a great company. Helping executives and entrepreneurs solve their toughest
problems over the past decade Frei and Morriss learned that the trade-off between speed and
excellence is false. The best change leaders solve hard problems with fierce urgency while
making their organizations-employees customers and shareholders-even stronger. They move fast
and fix things. Based on their work with fast-moving companies such as Uber Riot Games and
ServiceNow Frei and Morriss reveal the five essential steps to moving fast and fixing things.
