Unlocking Hypergrowth: Leadership Lessons from the Only CEO to Take Three Companies Public

It's a rarity to find a good book focussed on execution written by an actual operator. This is one of them. The only few others I can think of are 'Hard things about hard things', and 'high output management' Wishing for more such books written by actual operators

The paper print is not of great quality, and the finishing is also bad... Looks like a dupe

direct and to the point

The book is amazing, if you have a high performance mindset this book will push you further if you comes from Average and work life blend mindset then this will be an eyeopener.

Muito bom

Quick read with really helpful pieces of advice - duly recommended to anyone in a tech / startup leadership position.

"Amp It Up" is my second 10/10 read of the year, following *Never Split the Difference*. If you're an executive, particularly in the tech sector, this is one of the most impactful books you can read. What sets it apart is that the author, Frank Slootman, is not a founder CEO but an employee CEO, which adds a unique perspective that resonates deeply with me. In just around 180 pages, the book offers a masterclass in relentless execution, presented in a highly accessible manner. Slootman emphasizes crucial concepts like setting the pace as a leader, the importance of focusing on singular priorities, and hiring individuals who are ahead of their curve. He argues that incrementalism is simply a lack of boldness and stresses the need for a healthy sense of paranoia about competitors. The book also underscores the futility of strategizing without a capable team and the necessity of maintaining high standards to avoid mediocrity. It advocates for behavior driven by clear expectations, growth through challenges, and a focus on delivering genuine value to customers. Slootman’s advice includes thinking ahead of market dynamics and valuing traits like strong task ownership and urgency. In summary, *Amp It Up* is about raising your standards, aligning your team, sharpening your focus, picking up the pace, and transforming your strategy. It offers valuable insights for anyone serious about advancing their career or enhancing their company's performance. As the book succinctly puts it: “As professional people, we are products, so try to product-manage yourself.” Read it already.

Really good tips and reminders on taking your leadership to the next level. Super engaging read.
