<div>“The cure for death by PowerPoint and analysis paralysis . . . build support for your idea before you do a single calculation in a spreadsheet.” —Eric Grossat, Vice President, Global Marketing HCV, AbbVie “We’re sorry but your recommendation wasn’t approved.” We’ve all heard those words; it’s a sentence that swallows your hopes and crushes your confidence. Getting ideas or projects approved and securing the resources needed to implement them is one of the greatest challenges business leaders face. With multiple stakeholders, constrained budgets, and competing agendas, it’s difficult to cut through the clutter and garner the required support. The Elegant Pitch provides a simple, proven process to go from idea to approval more quickly and effectively than ever before. This is the same method used by elite strategy consulting firms such as McKinsey &amp; Co. and Bain Consulting. But you don’t have to be a high-priced consultant to master a process that promises:<ul><li>Clearer and more compelling recommendations and ideas</li><li>Shorter and crisper communications</li><li>Greater efficiency</li><li>Shorter and fewer meetings</li><li>More efficient decision-making processes</li><li>A higher likelihood of getting your recommendations approved</li></ul> Do less work, hold fewer and shorter meetings, and get ideas approved on the first pass? Sign me up! By using the methods in The Elegant Pitch, you can get to “yes” more quickly and drive the results that set you apart from the crowd. “If you need to frame up situations, challenges, and decision paths or you’re looking for support, budget, and headcount for your ideas, you’ll want to read this book twice.” —Suzie Reider, Managing Director, Brand Solutions, YouTube/Google</div>

The Elegant Pitch

<div>“In times when leaders have to do more with less, this book gives you the tools to elevate your people to new levels of success.” —Andrea Procaccino, Chief Learning Officer, New York-Presbyterian Hospital Every employee is different, but unfortunately many leaders use a one-size-fits-all approach to leading. In doing so, these otherwise well-intentioned leaders are working harder than they should while not getting all they could out of their teams. Lead Inside the Box gives managers way to get the best out of their teams by focusing their energy where it will make the biggest difference. It teaches leaders how to:<ul><li>Figure out where they are currently investing their time and energy across their teams</li><li>Identify the unique leadership needs of each team member</li><li>Make smarter decisions about how and where to invest their time and energy to get the best results out of everyone</li></ul> Through simple frameworks brought to life with stories from the trenches, leaders will be able to see their own teams—and themselves—from a new perspective. Paradoxically these methods will enable leaders to improve their team’s performance exponentially while expending half the effort. “Lead Inside the Box provides cogent advice about exactly how to lead from the middle (as well as the top) in ways that enable managers to make good things happen and help the organization prosper.” —John Baldoni, Leadership expert and author of Moxie: The Secret to Bold and Gutsy Leadership “A great fundamental read for every leader no matter what level you are at.” —Rob Miller, Divisional VP, R&amp;D and Scientific &amp; Medical Affairs, Abbott Nutrition</div>
