A great tool/reference for management consultants

This is effectively a compilation of the flash cards (or the A1 white papers the process engineers stick on the walls) which help management executives to identify and solve organisational problems (the authors named seven primary causes as the "Serious Seven" including Overwhelmed, Exhausted, Directionless, Hopeless, Battle-torn, Worthless and Alone) with the re-alignment of six parameters consisting of Purpose, Strategy, Culture, Structure+Process, Metrics+Rewards and People+Interaction. In short, I like the unconventional and no nonsense design of the book. It would be of great value to consultants who need to go through organisatonal stuff with a group. However, for managers who want to study organisation behaviour in depth and like detailed case studies, please give this a pass.

Good case studies

Very interesting and provocative layout. This is a book of insights and activities. You can read it end to end or use the guided trails to solve a key worded problem. Add this to your library of creativity and change management tools. I enjoyed the case studies and these folks ha e helped lots inour field. This is not dead center in my skill set, so although I found some useful advice in the book, I can not comment on its applicability in other settings. Clearly written in an easy conversational style.

Have a Moonshot...

An interesting book, authors used a unique way to write this book. Don't bother reading the entire book; choose a path or paths and off you go to those pages like an encyclopedia. Don't get stuck while trying to connect the dots. I must say a tricky book for average readers. However, on a positive note `The Serious Seven' aspires towards identifying the causes. This book uses case studies to toss some practical ideas and solutions. Vivek Dixit, Houston

Very good

Well, it's true
This is not a really comprehensive guide to "unstuck"
our companies (or ourselves?)..
But I found it very interesting for the hints it gives ,
then, as usual, you have get on with the job of reading one of the books of its bibliography.

Useful

(Please note I read the italian version)

Getting stuck is an integral part of business because the most ambitious and rewarding work is often the hardest to undertake. The challenge is knowing how to get unstuck. In this dynamic and pragmatic handbook, Keith Yamashita and Sandra Spataro share the insights, methods, stories, and best practices of the extraordinary leaders they have worked with at business giants such as IBM, Sony, Disney, HP, and Nike.

In immediately accessible terms, they identify the symptoms of being stuck, introduce readers to the Serious Seven states of "stuck"?from "Overwhelmed" to "Exhausted" to "Alone"?and offer dozens of in-the-moment tools, techniques, and examples to generate immediate ideas, whether you need to back up in order to move forward, motivate a struggling team, change your goals, or inspire yourself with a clearer picture of where you?re headed.

With a handy trim size, a vivid two-color interior, and memorable images that speak louder than words, Unstuck is a book for anyone who wants to get themselves or their team motivated and moving in the time it takes to fly from New York to D.C. Designed to be flipped through, read in chunks, and returned to again and again, Unstuck is an innovation in business literature.
