Organizations, like people, are creatures of habit. They tend to approach problems and practices in predictable ways. This revolutionary book argues that such ingrained habits, which often masquerade as efficient procedures, actually obstruct growth. The 2,000 Percent Solution introduces "stall-busting," a process that shows you how to recognize typical stalls and overcome them. The book also helps you understand why companies habitually "think small" in order to feel comfortable and in control. And it explains that only by learning to break certain patterns can we stride rapidly forward, solve seemingly impossible problems, and arrive sooner and more easily at the future. Through unorthodox examples ranging from the Titanic to Leonardo da Vinci's bicycle. The 2,000 Percent Solution redirects our knee-jerk reactions, or stalls, and gets readers on the road to sustainable change.
