CFO Bookshelf

Big Bet Leadership


Listen Later

John Rossman is making his second appearance on CFO Bookshelf. We interviewed him two years ago for one of our top 10 books of 2022, The Amazon Way, Amazon's 14 Leadership Principles.

John's newest book which he co-authored with Kevin McCaffrey is Big Bet Leadership. Highlights from the conversation include:

  • What is and what is not a big bet
  • A topic for low- and high-tech companies, both
  • Big bets are generally found in Day 1 organizations
  • Small teams vs. R&D labs
  • Thinking, environment, management
  • The power of writing
  • The portfolio of ideas with limited resources
  • The lightning round - lazy pivot, Chief Repeating Officer, quivers, MLPs
  • John's recent favorite books
