About the Book

A powerful manifesto for CEOs and employees alike, this book reveals how organizations can make huge changes with surpris-ingly small steps.
In an age of 'radical' shifts and 'disruption', business leader Margaret Hef-fernan lays the groundwork for a new kind of thinking, arguing that organi-zations can create seismic shifts by making deceptively small changes such as using every mind on the team, celebrating mistakes and encouraging time off from work.
A popular TED speaker, Heffernan is a wise and witty storyteller who fully engages her reader at every turn. Filled with incredible anecdotes and star-tling statistics, she takes us on a fascinating tour across the globe, high-lighting disparate business and revealing how they've managed to change themselves in big ways through incremental shifts. How did the CIA revo-lutionize their intelligence gathering with one simple question? How did one organization increase their revenue by 15 million by instituting a short coffee break? How can a day-long hackathon change the culture of a com-pany? Heffernan investigates all these scenarios and comes to the same conclusion: big improvements can come from simply making small chang-es.
