Workarounds That Work will show you how to take control of challenging situations at work, enabling you to accomplish more of what matters, even when systems, processes or other people seem to get in the way.

Every day, people experience increasing frustration in businesses large and small trying to execute critical goals and objectives or get the simplest things done. Roadblocks come in many forms, ranging from misaligned groups to bureaucratic processes, from people stuck in old ways of doing things to constantly fighting fires. Silos compete with each other instead of collaborating and even leadership can appear to be misaligned.

This is a pioneering book hard to read and yet insightful and thought-provoking. Each chapter begins with an introduction of science-based observations on life systems life applied to the organizational world later on in the chapter. Margaret Weatley demonstrates how our model for organizational theory derives from Newtonian physics and how such approach is not sufficient to describe all the intricated relations that occurr inside organizations. Her approach to quantum physics provides a revolutionary new paradigm to human activity such as:

1. Why aren't organizations working well? Relationship networks that exist in organization are devalued. There is a growing demand for spiritual experiences in people’s relationships and work environments.
2. Why is progress coming from unexpected places or synchronistic events? Sheldrake postulated the existence of morphic fields that influence the behavior of the species. Leaders are encouraged to observe the impact of intangible forces in organizations: culture, values, vision, and ethics and the need to develop relational leadership capability.
3. Why do projects fail to achieve any significant results? Strategic thinking is not enough. To create the organization that we want, we must interact consciously with other people and engage only in activities aligned with the vision of what we want to accomplish. Otherwise, organizations get tossed and turned by shifts in the environment.
4. How do complex systems change? Systems change when a critical business need emerges. Systems change as companies begin identifying core values and promoting core values from the top. Network relationships give power to the system and facilitate change, as people understand the big picture, Regular Positive/Negative feedback accelerate change itself.

I very often feel overwhelmed by the thousands of books on leaderships that are published every year. Occasionally we are blessed with a genuinely new approach. Readers will be impressed not only by the depth of Scharmer's Theory U model but also by the very practical approach for how to open our mind, emotions, and will to moments of discovery and mutual understanding. This is a profound and much needed book for it helps us enlarge our human capacity for growth.

This book is a must-read for all who are interested in the emerging future of leadership theory and practice. Otto Scharmer invites us to see the world in new ways. What we pay attention to, and how we pay attention - both individually and collectively - is key to what we create.

What often prevents us from attending is what Scharmer calls our blind spot, the inner place from which each of us operates. Learning to become aware of our blind spot is critical to bringing forth the profound systemic changes so needed in business and society today. Theory U explores a new territory of scientific research and personal leadership, one that is grounded in real life experience and shared practices. I encourage you to read it slowy and enjoy your learning journey as you savour the insights on your own blind spot by practising self awareness and attentive observation. The final chapters lay out principles and practices that allow you to participate fully in co-creating and bringing forth the desired future. A must book for all leaders interested in the technology of presencing.

Professional Coaches and Feedback Coaches know that there are four different areas of the brain that influence human thinking and skill sets. Everyone has at least a preferred quadrant of the brain and when working within it, they find things easy and natural. This natural lead facilitates the experience of Flow as described by Dr.Csikszentmihalyi. However, when working with skills outside our preference, we spend a 100 times more energy than needed so has discovered Dr. Benziger, the creator of this breakthrough work. So when you're working a job that is not utilizing skills in your brain preference, you become tired because your brain is literally working 100 times harder.

Now more than ever before, the issue of personal accountability is critically important to all organizations and will become even more important in years to come. As a professional coach and facilitator, it continues to amaze me the high level of apathy present in today´s organization. With this scenario, it is most appropriate to read a book that brings light into how to turn burned-out people back into people that are engaged and involved."The Personal Accountability Model”, guides and informs about how to live an accountable life, rich in professional success and personal happiness. Authors demonstrate that these are interdependent rather than mutually exclusive as I have so often observed in my coachees. Mark and Sophie suggest that people usually resist accountability because of three fears: blame, failure, and success. They examine each of these fears and suggest how to overcome them.

We have observed at Renewal®, that our clients are especially interested in the "Victim Loop" from which so many people seem unwilling and/or unable to escape. Those who select the "Accountability Loop" proceed through a sequence that eventually leads them to appropriate action. Those who select the "Victim Loop" proceed through a sequence that leads to self-inflicted wounds, real or imagined.

I have read a great deal in the personal growth and leaderhsip development fields and am not easily impressed. This book is a practical road map that help make wiser choices and to consciously align those to meaningful life intentions.

For too long, the issue of self-deception has been the realm of deep-thinking philosophers, academics, and scholars working on the central questions of the human sciences. The public remains generally unaware of the issue. That would be fine except that self-deception is so pervasive it touches every aspect of life. "Touches" is perhaps too gentle a word to describe its influence. Self-deception actually determines one's experience in every aspect of life and in particular it is the central issue in leadership.
