"Innovation and ideation are both very popular given the current business climate, but these alone are insufficient without pairing them with the ability to work great ideas through the maze of the organizationThe Agenda Mover uniquely focuses on the critical skills of execution to unleash these great ideas. If you really want your organization to become more innovative, you need to read this book to ensure you can transform the innovative ideas into action plans that will change your organization." -- Andy Doyle, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, Oppenheimer Funds
"Professor Bacharach takes the abstract concept of leadership and provides a practical guide to producing results in the modern organization. The Agenda Mover clearly explains how the combination of technical competence and political acumen can be used to make a great idea reality. This is a must-read for every executive." -- Rob Manfred, Commissioner of Major League Baseball
"We encounter a lot of leadership experts at Inc., but no one cuts through the hoo-haw surrounding the topic as brilliantly—or as entertainingly—as Sam. Readers of The Agenda Mover come away realizing that the core of leadership isn't the 'vision thing’ or the `charisma thing.’ It’s the execution thing. Leaders who follow Sam’s precepts don’t waste time on flash. Instead they acquire that one essential but all-too-rare attribute of effective leadership: They get things done." -- Eric Schurenberg, President and Editor-in-Chief, Inc. Media
