Inspiring change is simpler than you think. While helping thousands of leaders execute new plans and align their teams, organizational psychologist Nick Tasler has discovered how any manager can "hack" the change process by disrupting the way human brains are wired to make sense of new information. All it takes is a decision.

Decisions are the most basic building blocks of change. Change happens when decisions happen. Change stalls when decisions don't happen. It really is that simple. So forget about awe-inspiring visions, complicated plans, and the fist-pounding speeches. Domino reveals how everyday managers from around the world have leveraged Tasler's elegantly simple methods to liberate their change efforts from too many plans, too many priorities, too many visions, too many emails, and too many meetings. Illustrative stories breathe life into this groundbreaking approach and clarify material in a-ha moments that enable you to:

• Inspire your team to pursue exciting new directions virtually overnight
• Create 90-day sprints and waitlists to instantly align teams of all sizes
• Empower your boss to make decisions by making decisive recommendations
• Conduct a proper permission ceremony

But the most exciting thing you'll take away from this book is not a tool or a technique. It is a discovery about yourself. Throughout history, great leaders and change agents have come in all shapes, sizes, colors, genders, and job titles. The one thing they all had in common was their willingness to decide when other people would not. All of the engaging stories and intriguing research in Domino point to this one simple truth.

If you can make a decision, you can inspire change.
