The Unfair Advantage
by Todd Hagopian
For fifteen years, Todd Hagopian-the stagnation assassin-climbed the corporate ladder at lightning speed while battling bipolar disorder that both fueled remarkable success and nearly destroyed him. When medication stabilized his mind, he faced an impossible ultimatum: Be healthy or be successful.
He refused-and created the HOT system to declare war on stagnation.
The Unfair Advantage: Weaponizing the Hypomanic Toolbox follows struggling manufacturing president Jack Whelan as he meets Eugene Spark, an eccentric bipolar billionaire who teaches him to weaponize hypomanic thinking patterns into systematic business transformation.
Through this engaging story, discover how to do the following:
• Systematically eliminate 80 percent of what's killing profitability.
• Weaponize extreme focus into unstoppable competitive advantage.
• Transform teams through battle-tested continuous improvement.
• Set grandiose goals that murder mediocrity.
Ready to declare war on stagnation and double your company's value?

Todd Hagopian
Todd Hagopian transforms dying companies into industry dominators. After his bipolar diagnosis nearly destroyed his career-including multiple arrests and job losses-he weaponized his hypomanic episodes into the HOT system, helping to generate $2 billion in shareholder value as a key architect of turnarounds at Fortune 500 giants like Berkshire Hathaway, Illinois Tool Works, and Whirlpool.Known as "the stagnation assassin," Hagopian doesn't write business theory-he writes battle plans.
