Chasing the Rabbit: How Market Leaders Outdistance the Competition and How Great Companies Can Catch Up and Win

Organizational rabbits hold the key to the new competitive advantage. In Chasing the Rabbit, four-time Shingo Prize winner, noted author, and celebrated MIT lecturer, Steven Spear shares his insights on what lies at the core of superlative performance and competitive dominance. Market leaders, or rabbits, outrun and escape the pack by constantly raising the bar through self-improvement and innovation that occurs at rates faster, durations longer, and breadths wider than anyone else can muster. The culmination of over a decade of research, study, and consulting with companies in finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology, Chasing the Rabbit introduces a new approach to achieving competitive advantage. Spear demonstrates how the world's greatest companies manage complex processes by eliminating obstacles to operational excellence and making problem-solving a core organizational capability.
