How you can increase and sustain organic revenue and profit growth . . . whether you're running an entire company or in your first management job. Over the past seven years, Procter & Gamble has tripled profits; significantly improved organic revenue growth, cash flow, and operating margins; and averaged earnings per share growth of 12 percent. How? A. G. Lafley and his leadership team have integrated innovation into everything P&G does and created new customers and new markets. Through eye-opening stories A. G.

Innovation in this world is the best way to win--arguably the only way to really win.

This is a game-changing book that helps you redefine your leadership and improve your management game.
