"With the variety of challenges leaders face every day, Russell
Bishop has hit on an amazingly simple and highly effective
solution: the ''workaround.'' This is a brilliant approach to facing
day-to-day business challenges, and it works!" -Marshall Goldsmith,
world-renowned executive coach and author of the New York Times

want to succeed big, there is no substitute
內容簡介:
experienced the frustration dozens of times: you need approval
on a project, but a key sign-off person is out of town; a product
is on a crash schedule, but you’re missing an important detail; you
need to move ahead in a process, but company rules cause delays.
What you need is a workaround.
In Workarounds That Work, Russell Bishop—an expert in personal
and organization transformation—teaches the art of the workaround:
a method for accomplishing a task or goal when the normal process
isn’t producing the desired results. Workarounds help you break
through the tasks and systems that keep you from the important
stuff. They even help you bring lasting change to your organization
by doing away with frustrating institutional inefficiencies once
and for all.
Workarounds aren’t only about getting things done. They’re
about getting the right things done. To ratchet up productivity,
your organization needs someone who will ask the big questions,
such as:
How can our systems—from operational infrastructures to
management processes—be more efficient and effective?
Do we make the most of our talent?
Do our teams work in isolation when collaboration would be more
useful?
Are we wasting time, placing blame, and fighting fires when we
could instead be fixing problems?
Is our direction clear, aligned, and focused?
