Unstuck: ATool for Yourself, Your Team, and Your World by Keith Yamashita (179 pgs)


G: I read this in an afternoon, sitting outside on my deck. It resonated with me, especially since we always seem to be in a transition phase. I could see that many of us are in different places on this journey.

Amazon: 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.
