Publisher's summary

Transform your organization into an adaptable and flexible innovator.

In The New Nimble: Leading in the Age of Change, accomplished author, professor, and consultant Jay Sullivan delivers a clear, tangible, and actionable guide to implementing flexibility and creativity in your enterprise. Through interviews with senior leaders from a wide array of industries and disciplines, the author shows you the trends and behaviors that allowed successful organizations to navigate the changing realities and complexities that have defined recent years, including the COVID-19 crisis, the increasing awareness of racial injustice in society, and the January 6th insurrection. This book demonstrates how organizations can internalize and institutionalize lessons from recent paradigm shifts in thinking and learn how to apply those lessons to their everyday operations and to prepare for the next major challenge.

The questions at the end of each chapter become your playbook for debriefing how your organization handled the myriad shifting realities of the last few years. That ongoing discussion with your team will prepare you to be more nimble as the next change appears.

Must-read for our ever changing world

The New Nimble is an important book. Rather than trying to settle into a “new normal” (only to be uprooted when inevitable changes come), we should adopt the “new nimble” mentality.

Jay Sullivan takes us through a handful of insightful case studies of businesses recently called on to be nimble (knowing how and when to pivot). Given the events of the past 5 years, these companies had to flex in unique and novel ways, but all did so successfully. Sullivan guides us through the analysis and takeaways of each company profile.

The book is divided into 3 sections: 1) Know Your Essence, 2) Ask the Right Questions, and 3) Be Bold. Each section has a few examples that demonstrate how to be nimble. How do we stay nimble in an ever-changing world while staying true to our values? What questions can we ask now that will prepare our teams for coming changes? We get insights to these and more questions.
