Whether you’re running a race or running a company, pacing is everything. Go too fast and you’ll burn yourself out—too slow and you’re left in the dust. So how can leaders find the right speed? Growth expert Alison Eyring, who is also a long-distance runner and triathlete, found the answer in endurance training.
It’s a concept she calls Intelligent Restraint. Eyring shows leaders how to evaluate their company’s and team’s current capacity for growth and identify the right capabilities and pacing strategies to increase growth steadily and sustainably. She masterfully weaves physiological and psychological research, in-depth business case studies, examples from real leaders, and practical tools with her own narrative of endurance training. The result is a revolutionary new mindset for enduring success.Contents Foreword by Marshall Goldsmith ix Preface xiii Introduction 1 Part 1: The Principles of Intelligent Restraint Chapter 1: When Restraint Is Intelligent 17 Chapter 2: Principle One: Capacity Determines How Far and Fast You Can Go 31 Chapter 3: Principle Two: The Right Capabilities Increase Capacity 47 Chapter 4: Principle Three: The Right Pace Wins the Race 61 Part 2: The Rules of Intelligent Restraint Chapter 5: Rule #1: Focus Overrules Vision 77 Chapter 6: Rule #2: Routines Beat Strengths 93 Chapter 7: Rule #3: Exert, Then Recover 109 Part 3: Put Intelligent Restraint to Work Chapter 8: Scale to Grow 125 Chapter 9: Lead with Intelligent Restraint 141 Epilogue 157 Appendix:PACER for Self-Renewal 159 Notes 161 Acknowledgments 167 Index 169 About Alison 177 Working with Organisation Solutions 179“As CEO, I am constantly faced with the tension of leading a successful company to execute our core business and, at the same time, prepare ourselves for the future.Pacing l3Ê
