Summary

In 'Living Too Fast; Or, The Confessions of a Bank Officer' by Oliver Optic, readers are introduced to a gripping tale of wealth, temptation, and moral dilemma set in the bustling banking industry of the 19th century. Optic's literary style combines a fast-paced narrative with intricate character development, shedding light on the inner struggles of a bank officer caught in the throes of corruption and deceit. The book's themes of greed and redemption are timeless, making it a pertinent read for those interested in exploring the complexities of human nature within a financial context. Oliver Optic, a pseudonym for William Taylor Adams, was a prolific American author known for his engaging stories for young readers. As a former teacher and school principal, Optic used his educational background to craft morally-driven narratives that entertained and educated his audience. 'Living Too Fast' showcases Optic's talent for blending suspenseful storytelling with valuable moral lessons, making it a standout work in his literary career. I highly recommend 'Living Too Fast; Or, The Confessions of a Bank Officer' to readers who enjoy thought-provoking tales of moral ambiguity and financial intrigue. Optic's skillful storytelling and insightful commentary on human nature make this book a must-read for those seeking a captivating literary experience.

The volunteers under his command wore red shirts as their uniform and became known in the popular stories as, "The Red Shirts."He gained his military expertise from his experiences in Brazil, Uruguay as well as Europe. Because of his international notoriety the United States and the UK helped in his cause, both financially and militarily. Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, and George Sand, intellectuals of the time, greatly admired him.  - Summary by kirk202NOTE: There in no Appendix I.

    “How can I create an innovation engine that will consistently deliver substantial organic growth?”

 
This question is the number-one issue for most CEOs and senior executives today. Innovation is a critical driver of organic growth, yet based on the authors' research, only a small percent of companies effectively use innovation to sustain long-term, profitable growth. And the stakes couldn't be higher-failure to create successful new products, services, and business models causes stagnating or declining profits.

 
Now, for the first time, experts Michael George, James Works and Kimberly Watson-Hemphill explain the surprising and significant gap between the CEO's growth goals and actual performance. The authors, who are experts at connecting strategy to execution, give you a complete blueprint for exploiting the strategic and operational dimensions of innovation.

 
Using fresh insights about the true drivers of fast time-to-market and the inadequate success rate of innovation, Fast Innovation reveals:

 Why current approaches to innovation fail

A new strategic and tactical plan that will help your company dramatically reduce time-to-market by 50 to 80 percent

The secret for finding out what your customers really want (not just what they say they want)

Tools and methods for turning customer insights into ideas that will generate significant ROI

The key levers that senior leadership must engage to create innovation capability across the business



 
You'll receive specific actionable solutions for driving disruptive and sustaining innovation at the strategic, portfolio and project level. You'll also learn how to improve how much time your innovation teams actually spend innovating, and discover the changes that must be launched at the corporate level in order to enable the whole business to embrace and get results from this approach.
