over 200 successful founders, executives, and dozens of companies and
organizations, AQ reveals a model for how high-performing
teams and managers adapt to uncertainty. Tran will show you how to cultivate
"durable skills," essential human abilities that remain valuable no
matter what the future holds. With the book's Agility Archetype assessment, the
book personalizes the AQ journey to every kind of individual. No matter their
experience level or ambitions.
