Synopsis

Does it seem that good ideas go nowhere at your company, that meetings are often a waste of time, and that nobody seems to be in charge? In Getting It Done, Roger Fisher and Alan Sharp tackle the inertia that afflicts many groups. The authors advance the idea of lateral leadership as a means of breaking apart the logjams that inhibit collaboration in organizations, and they offer surefire ways to help anyone get better results from coworkers. Getting It Done explains how to best help a group formulate a clear vision of the results they want, suggest a course of action that everyone can all implement, and help everyone learn from past experiences. Gleaned from their decades of experience as negotiators, mediators, and consultants to organizations, Getting It Done gives you the practical tools needed to influence your peers and bosses and get the results you seek.

Goodreads review by Chris on February 25, 2018

200 page book could be boiled down to a 20 page high lights, basic premise, question, learn, do, be nice to people and look at what you can do instead of what others are doing wrong. There is a fair bit of recommended self deprecation within the book, i.e. minimising your role to not offend people,......more

Goodreads review by Gabriel on September 07, 2020

This is the most useful book I have found in how to best help move your group forward when you are in a corporate setting and not "in charge". This book can help one act more like an adult when it is sometimes quite easy to instead act like a child ("That is not my job", "They are not fixing it for......more
