Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 2025 PORCHLIGHT BUSINESS BOOK AWARD WINNER - NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY OPRAH DAILY, ADAM GRANT, CHIEF EXECUTIVE MAGAZINE, AND MORE - 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.

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.
