The definitive guide to eliminating the forces that make it harder, more complicated, or downright impossible to get things done in organizations.
Every organisation is plagued by destructive friction. Lengthy and convoluted emails, inefficient processes, and antiquated procedures can all be obstacles to excellence at work.
Yet some forms of friction are incredibly useful. Often teams need to slow down, struggle and develop some bad ideas to find that rare good one. And leaders who attempt to improve workplace efficiency often make things even worse.
Drawing from seven years of hands-on research, The Friction Project by bestselling authors Robert I. Sutton and Huggy Rao teaches readers how to become \"friction fixers.\"
Sutton and Rao will help you to-
identify where to avert and repair bad organisational friction
acknowledge where to maintain and inject good friction
reframe friction troubles that can't be immediately fixed, so they feel less threatening
repair failing organisations
The Friction Project is the ultimate guide to making the right things easier and the wrong things harder.
