In this talk Anne reinvents the playbook for how to lead change — with a provocative approach that moves fast, builds trust, and accelerates excellence. When Facebook made "Move fast and break things" an informal company motto, it fueled the belief that we can either make progress or take care of people, one or the other. Throughout this dynamic, interactive keynote, Anne makes the case that the best change leaders solve hard problems with fierce urgency while making their organizations—employees, customers, and shareholders—even stronger. They move fast and fix things.
Based on her work with fast-moving companies, Anne reveals the five essential steps to moving fast and fixing things. Audiences learn to:

When leaders and aspiring leaders seek out advice, they're often told to try harder. Dig deeper. Look in the mirror and fix your deficiencies. In this inspiring talk, Anne offers a different worldview. She argues that this popular leadership advice glosses over the most important thing you do as a leader: build others up.
Leadership isn't about you. It's about how effective you are at empowering other people—and making sure this impact endures even in your absence. Through provocative stories from Ancient Rome to present-day Silicon Valley, Anne makes a persuasive case that the origins of great leadership are found, paradoxically, not in worrying about your own status and advancement, but in the unrelenting focus on other people's potential.
