Unstuck
Everyone gets stuck sooner or later. The big question is how do you get unstuck?

People and organizations get stuck because the most ambitious and rewarding work brings with it the most challenges.

Unstuck is a smart, fearless, totally practical guide to turn to for inspiration and immediate solutions. It’s meant to be acted on, not just read. And it’s based on the proven practices the authors have discovered while working with IBM, Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Nike, Gap Inc., and many other major companies.

Whether you need to step back to move forward, motivate a struggling team, change your goals, or create a clearer vision, Unstuck helps you diagnose your situation, identify the most important challenges, and implement the right tools and techniques to get things moving again. Now with updated case studies, this is the perfect book to get you and your team unstuck.

This is PowerPoint for the soul—a new manifesto from two of our most original, most amazing thinkers (and more important, practitioners). (Seth Godin, author of Purple Cow and Small Is the New Big)

Unstuck takes all that’s tough about leading change, breaks it down, and serves it up in a way that makes you want to take action. Today. (Paul Pressler, CEO, Gap Inc.)

Wonderfully engaging and playful… Packed with practical guidance on how to restore momentum. (Jay Conger, author of Winning ’Em Over)

In just a few minutes, I got more than enough good ideas to last a long time. (David Allen, author of Getting Things Done and Ready for Anything)

If you are a leader on the up escalator but lack a mentor who can help you navigate the dangers of corporate life, Unstuck will provide witty and useful advice. (Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author of Flow and Good Business)

Part action manual, part tool, part dojo, Unstuck is unfailingly inventive when it comes to tackling the toughest challenges of making strategy, organizing work, and leading people. If you’re stuck—and you will be if you aim to do great work—Unstuck is a fresh, fun, and serious-minded guide to moving forward. (Polly LaBarre, author of Mavericks at Work)

Unstuck is roadside assistance for leaders—a tool for turning information into action. (Gary VanSpronsen, senior vice president, Herman Miller)
