What Innovators are Saying

I’ve only met Tom once, but have heard his reputation from several of my clients. Just got the book Thursday, so haven’t been able to finish, but impressed with what I have read so far…looking forward to the rest. Great job Tom!

This is a great business book based on what is obviously real-world business experience. The author clearly knows his stuff and is not simply writing based on theory. The content is insightful, clear, and useable.

Normally I am not a fan of fables, but the author uses the story of People First IT to draw the reader in and illustrate how the concepts and principles work. Very well done! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn from someone else’s mistakes instead of their own and quickly scale their business.

Smart business leaders know a lot about running a successful company. Great business leaders understand their knowledge is a foundation for success, but delivering truly exceptional results means leveraging and incorporating the wisdom of others, and specifically from those who have strong expertise, exceptional communication skills, and a big heart.

Thomas Douglas puts all 3 on display in his brilliant book “Adapt or Die”. This isn’t a book filled with trite, rehashed business platitudes. Rather, Thomas informs the reader with a beautifully constructed narrative, drawing on details culled from years of hard work and earned lessons, and ties the lessons into concrete actions that will benefit any business owner.

Those successful leaders who want to take the next step in elevating their game will be reading this book and putting its teachings to work in their business.
