Authors Clinton Longenecker, Greg Papp, and Timothy Stansfield reveal that all too often business organizations are defeated while the clock is still ticking. Bogged down by sluggish business practices that stifle change, they are unable to pick up the pace when necessary to score and win. The Two-Minute Drill translates football’s lessons for business leaders who want to succeed in today’s competitive marketplace. The book clearly shows what it takes to accelerate change and improvement within any type of organization.
The authors of The Two-Minute Drill believe that organizations often do what no football team ever would in this situation - send in back-office staff to slow down the game and study every move in detail - while the clock ticks down. They create bureaucratic inertia instead of focused, coordinated leadership.
