From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Made to Stick Switch and The Power of
Moments comes a revolutionary guide to fixing what's not working - in 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 offers a
framework for getting unstuck and making the changes that matter: from a freakishly effective
fast-food drive-thru to a simple trick from couples therapy to a grassroots initiative that
saved the lives of a million cats. 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. 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 jump-start your change efforts by beginning with a burstThe book also 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.
