BOOM!: Leadership that Breaks Barriers, Challenges Convention, and Ignites Innovation

A modern organization can’t survive without innovation.

It happens all the time: Vibrant and cutting-edge companies get comfortable — and complacent. They lose touch with their innovative roots. Their dynamic culture slips away. Bureaucracy takes over. Progress slows. Then stops.

It’s leadership’s job to set things back on course.

Unfortunately, most leaders don’t know how. They’ve been taught outdated strategies. Strategies that don’t move the needle. Strategies that don’t work in this dynamic day and age.

So, despite everyone’s best intentions, nothing changes.

The solution: an innovation playbook for the modern era.

When Brigadier General John “Dragon” Teichert took command of Edwards Air Force Base in 2018, it was choked by bureaucracy and complacency.

He applied a unique and unorthodox strategy to launch an innovation movement and unleash the individual genius of the base’s 11,000 Airmen.

The result? Edwards became the most innovative Air Force Base on the planet, dwarfing the innovation activity of the rest of the Air Force combined.

In this book, he reveals exactly how he did it.

Written by a leader for leaders, BOOM! is jam-packed with fascinating aviation analogies, little-known stories of Air Force hero Chuck Yeager, intriguing tales from the highest visibility base on the planet, and stories of internationally impactful activities in war-torn Iraq.

BOOM! reveals an innovation roadmap that transcends jet planes and rockets – a process that can work for any leader, at any level, in any industry, who wants to move their mission forward and deliver outstanding results.
