Why Speed and Trust Are Critical to Solving Hard Problems

When it comes to solving complex, layered problems, the default for many organizational leaders is to take their time to work through the issues at hand.

Morriss is an entrepreneur, leadership coach, and founder of the Leadership Consortium. With Harvard Business School professor Frances Frei, she authored the book, Move Fast and Fix Things: The Trusted Leader’s Guide to Solving Hard Problems.
