Biography[edit]
Born in Negaunee, Michigan, Jennings began his career as a broadcast journalist and later owned radio stations in Oklahoma, Washington and Arizona. The consulting firm he founded Jennings-McGlothlin & Company[2] became the largest media consultancy in the world and served clients in the broadcasting and retail industries. He was the youngest radio station group owner in the world[citation needed] and his programming and sales strategies are credited[by whom?] with revolutionizing parts of the broadcasting industry, where later, he founded Jennings-McGlothlin & Company.
He traveled the globe in search of the world's fastest companies for his book, It's Not The Big That Eat The Small - It's The Fast That Eat The Slow. Within weeks of its release it hit the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and New York Times Bestsellers Lists. Now published in 32 languages, USA Today named it one of the top 25 books of the year. He and his team studied more than 40,000 companies and identified the ten most productive companies in the world for his bestselling, Less Is More. The book revealed the secrets of the world's most productive companies.
For his third book, Think BIG, Act Small, Jennings profiled the leadership of the only ten companies in the world to have grown both revenues and profits by double digits every year for ten consecutive years. Like his previous books it debuted on all the bestseller charts.
In 2008, Jennings released Hit the Ground Running. The book profiles and reveals the tactics and strategies of American CEOs who created the greatest amount of economic value since 2000. Companies and CEOs profiled include JM Smucker, Harris Corporation, Mohawk Industries, Humana, Goodrich, Hanover Insurance, Allegheny Technologies, Staples and Questar.
Jennings' next book, The Reinventors – How Extraordinary Companies Pursue Radical Continuous Change was released in 2012 and made bestseller lists at The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Amazon within the first month of publication.
The Reinventors focuses on methods used by companies like Starbucks, Arrow Electronics, Apple, Pella Windows, SAS, Capital One, DOT Foods, Humana, Nucor Steel, Multi-Chem, Koch Industries, Smithfield Foods, Southwest Airlines and RCI to remain relevant, grow, and stay ahead of their competition. With his team of researchers, Jennings studied more than 200,000 companies for this book.
A revised and updated version of Think BIG-Act Small was also released in 2012. Both books were published by Portfolio, the business and leadership imprint of Penguin Putnam.
Jennings and his family live in Tiburon, California and Timber Rock Shore, Michigan.
