Reset

By Dan Heath

From the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Made to Stick, Switch, and The Power of Moments comes 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.
