About this audiobook
Snowflake CEO Frank Slootman is one of the tech world's most accomplished executives in enterprise growth, having led Snowflake to the largest software IPO ever after leading Data Domain and ServiceNow to exponential growth and the public market before that. In Amp It Up, he shares his leadership approach for the first time.
Amp It Up delivers an authoritative look at what it takes to transform an organization for maximum growth and scale. Slootman shows that most leaders have significant room to improve their organization's performance without making expensive changes to their talent, structure, or fundamental business model-and they don't need to bring in an army of consultants to do it. What they do need is to align people around what matters and execute with urgency and intensity every day.
Leading for unprecedented growth means declaring war on mediocrity, breaking the status quo, and making conflicted choices daily, all with a relentless focus on the mission. Amp It Up provides the first principles to guide that change, and the tactical advice for organizing a company around them. Perfect for executives, entrepreneurs, founders, managers, and leaders of all kinds, Amp It Up is a must-have resource for anyone who seeks to unleash the growth potential of a company and scale it to heights they never thought possible.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It’s hard core experience of Frank narrated in transforming and growing 3 great companies over multiple X times! A must for every leader especially in the StarUp space.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was an amazing book on leadership and business. So many valuable insights and clear and to the point advice and illustrations. Frank Slootman has become a legendary CEO and this book really codifies why that’s the case. Would recommend this to any executives, mid-level, and even junior employees just starting out. This is 5 hours of advice and insight you will be glad you had!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very concise. I would take it as more of a playbook but you can’t enact every play without thinking of yourself as the quarterback.
