Reset

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A revolutionary guide to fixing what`s not working-in systems and processes, organizations and companies, and even in our daily lives-by identifying leverage points and concentrating resources to achieve our goals. Changing how we work can feel overwhelming. Like trying to budge an enormous boulder. We`re stifled by the gravity of the way we`ve always done things. And we spend so much time fighting fires-and fighting colleagues-that we lack the energy to shift direction. But with the right strategy, we can move the boulder. In Reset, Heath explores a framework for getting unstuck and making the changes that matter. The secret is to find "leverage points": places where a little bit of effort can yield a disproportionate return. Then, we can thoughtfully rearrange our resources to push on those points. Heath weaves together fascinating examples, ranging from a freakishly effective fast-food drive-thru to a simple trick from couples therapy to an inspirational campaign that saved a million cats. In Reset, you`ll learn: -Why the feeling of progress can be your secret weapon in accelerating change -How leaders can uncover and stop wasteful activities -Why your team`s motivation is often squandered-and how to avoid that mistake -How you can jumpstart your change efforts by beginning with a "burst" The book investigates mysteries: Why the middle is the roughest part of a change effort. Why inefficiency can sometimes accelerate progress. Why getting "buy-in" is the wrong way to think about change. What if we could unlock forward movement-achieving progress on what matters most-without the need for more resources? The same people, the same assets...but dramatically better results. Yesterday, we were stuck. Today, we reset.
