As disruption increasingly becomes the counterpart to innovation, John Rossman, a Managing Director and digital disruption expert at global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), has released a timely new book: “The Amazon Way: 14 Leadership Principles Behind the World’s Most Disruptive Company.”
Tapping into his first-hand experience with the “ultimate disruptor,” the former Amazon executive offers a primer for leaders across a range of industries who are struggling to manage new business models, non-traditional competition, technology and the accelerated rate of change driving today’s business environment. The book is available on Amazon.com.
“Many of today’s most successful businesses simply won’t exist a decade from now,” says the technology strategy, design and implementation veteran. “We already see the composition of the S&P 500 changing along with the role and responsibilities of the CIO. These early warning signs all point to an inevitable conclusion: every business must leverage technology in order to survive.”
“Alvarez & Marsal has long helped companies embrace change and do so in a positive way,” said Tom Elsenbrook, head of A&M’s Performance Improvement practice. “John’s book – and the insights he brings to his day-to-day role at the firm – examines the latest area of disruption in digital media and e-commerce. His unique perspective on this topic goes hand-in-hand with our deep history of providing clients with ahead-of-the-curve strategies for managing and activating change, in the digital space and beyond.”
As a leader at Amazon who had a front-row seat during its formative years, the Seattle-based Rossman understands the factors that have driven not just the innovation, but the disruption, leading to its success.
From the launch of its third-party seller program to a foray into enterprise services, he witnessed it all—the victories, the little-known failures and the experiments whose outcomes are still in question. In his new book, Rossman does not just share insight into one of the world's leading e-commerce and technology companies, he brings to life the leadership principles behind one of the world's most innovative companies. Included are the 14 leadership principles Rossman feels any CEO must keep in mind in order to compete effectively in today's marketplace.
