"Mamie's playbook for Leading Extraordinary Change is the best kind of business book, because rather than an academic analysis it is based on her wonderful career path from a successful individual contributor to an extremely competent leader.

"As SVP of product development at Intuit, Mamie drove extraordinary transformation of team, process, and product. She took over a group that was behind and resistant to change, and up-leveled and inspired the team, modernized their processes, modernized their technology, got them innovating architecture and features, moved them to web and then cloud, ultimately passing the competition by. Mamie has codified her approaches in her new book, Lead Extraordinary Change. It's an engaging read and a proven playbook."
