For over a decade, Jason T. Smith led his business with a traditional vertical organisational structure that mostly worked - up to a point, anyway. Then something changed. An ambitious target was set, and it seemed the team just stopped working. Fast-forward two years, after months of intentional learning, soul-searching, testing and probing, Jason found the sweet spot between distributed authority and peer accountability. This ignited a leadership revolution. Through an innovative approach to organisational design called ONEteam(TM), they achieved their strategic intent of 7/50/100: a brand presence in 7 states or territories, generating revenues of near $50 million, in more than 100 locations. This book is their story - warts and all.
