There are many invisible walls between you and your increasing success in a changing world. One of the main ones, uncovered in Robert Cooper’s pioneering research, is that Good and Great are the enemies of Possible. When we get good at something, we subconsciously begin to repeat it over and over. When we’re considered great, we’re automatically primed to defend it, pouring our energies and attention into preserving our new-found greatness and protecting our lead, both of which soon tend to vanish.
?Star-performing individuals and teams choose another path: They continually reach beyond good and great for what’s possible — and, in so doing, they create the future. They redefine whole industries and launch new fields. They are maximally engaged with what matters most. They work fewer hours with greater rewards. They exceed everyone’s expectations — in financial success, ingenuity, energy, well-being, savoring time with family and friends, or living their values. And they make it look easy as they blow right past the trophy• hoisting executives and cover-story gorilla companies of five minutes ago, who are left wondering why being good or great wasn’t enough.
Robert explains how to apply the key principles from his book Get Out of Your Own Way: manage
Direction, not motion
Focus, not time
Capacity, not conformity
Energy, not effort
Impact, not intentions
Exceptional leaders and teams know what the data clearly confirm: that every economic downturn is an amazing opportunity to win more customers and trust and market share...if you have the eyes to see the opportunities and the ingenuity and new skills to go capture them. Robert's pioneering approach shows you how — with the latest insights, stories, tools, and tailored applications.
Your most powerful new tools
The fastest path to influence in a world where time is always of the essence
Why some leaders thrive in continuously changing conditions — and most don’t
