“Speed matters. But trust matters more. Build both, and you can change the world.”
In this episode of The Business Book Club, we dive into Frances Frei and Anne Morriss' bold playbook for leaders — “Move Fast and Fix Things.” In a business world obsessed with speed and disruption, this book flips the Silicon Valley mantra on its head. Frei and Morriss argue that real progress doesn’t come from breaking things — it comes from fixing them fast with trust, inclusion, and integrity.
Throughout the episode, we explore how leaders can balance urgency with empathy, act decisively without leaving people behind, and build cultures where both speed and sustainability thrive. Drawing on case studies from companies like Uber and Harvard Business School, Frei and Morriss share the frameworks that help leaders repair trust, strengthen teams, and move their organisations forward with purpose.
By the end of the discussion, listeners gain a practical roadmap for creating faster, fairer, and more resilient businesses. Move Fast and Fix Things is a call to action for anyone who wants to lead transformational change — the right way.
