Strategic Acceleration by Tony Jeary
(Vanguard Press, released in hardcover 2009, paperback in spring 2010)
When many of the world’s top executives seek a strategic communications expert, they are eventually led to Tony Jeary. His clients include most all industries and are diverse in nature, including the US Senate, Federal Home Loan Bank, ministries of all sizes, the top 30 organizations of the direct sales world, and many of the world’s most talented individuals and organizations. And he personally coaches the presidents of organizations such as Ford, Wal-Mart, Samsung, EDS, ASTD, New York Life, Firestone and SAM’s Club, to name a few. Tony has spent his life and career creating a methodology he terms Strategic Acceleration.
Strategic Acceleration is the leadership methodology developed by Tony that combines awareness, operational practices, and powerful informational resources designed to produce strategic speed and superior results within time frames that exceed traditional expectations. Its dynamic concepts center on three strategic issues: Clarity, Focus and Execution.
In Strategic Acceleration, Tony makes a powerful case that business growth and success are determined by two organizational needs: the need for speed and the need for results. The three enemies of speed and results are absence of clarity, lack of focus and poor execution. Strategic Acceleration teaches that these three enemies are definable conditions and prescribes 12 Strategic Communication Mastery Standards that have the power to transform organizational performance and produce exceptional results faster.
