ROCKET FUEL: The One Essential Combination That Will Get You More of What You Want

by Gino Wickman and Mark C. Winters

Every business needs 2 leaders at the top: a forward-looking Visionary, and an Integrator who makes things happen. Many business owners feel stuck or overwhelmed because they’re trying to do both jobs at once. Gino Wickman, in this book, presents how to split the roles between 2 complementary leaders to unlock growth, freedom, and results.

In this summary, you'll learn:

• How to find the right V/I combination for your company using the Visionary Spectrum, and how to source for and hire the ideal Integrator or Visionary who fits you and your company.
