Snowflake CEO Frank Slootman is one of the most accomplished leaders in enterprise growth in the tech world, having led Snowflake to the greatest software IPO ever after previously leading ServiceNow and Data Domain to exponential growth and the public market. For the first time, he exposes his leadership method in Amp It Up: Leading for Hypergrowth by Raising Expectations, Increasing Urgency, and Elevating Intensity.

Amp It Up provides a thorough examination of what it takes to restructure an organization for maximum development and scalability. Slootman demonstrates that most executives can significantly increase their organization's performance without making costly changes to its people, structure, or core business model—and they don't need an army of consultants to accomplish it. What they do require is for people to be aligned around what matters and to execute with urgency and intensity every day.

Leading for extraordinary development entails declaring war on mediocrity, challenging the status quo, and making difficult decisions on a daily basis, all while remaining relentlessly focused on the purpose. Amp It Up offers the first principles to drive such transition, as well as pragmatic suggestions for constructing a business around them.

Amp It Up is a must-read resource for executives, entrepreneurs, founders, managers, and leaders of all types who want to unlock a company's growth potential and scale it to heights they never dreamed imaginable. It is regarded as one of the best books on strategic business planning you should read.
