Book description
Award-winning business professor Keith Murnighan teaches us how doing
less will get you more in Do Nothing!
Would you like to go on holiday without having to check daily that
your team is doing its job? Can you turn off your phone and your
email, knowing that everything is under control?
For most managers this is just a dream. But Do Nothing!
reveals that such a 'hands off' approach is both achievable and highly effective.
In this compelling and imaginative book, award-winning business
professor Keith Murnighan shows how really successful leaders create a
culture of independence and trust. Identify the team members who you
can rely on - then step aside and let them do their jobs.
With a raft of provocative suggestions ('ignore performance goals!',
'de-emphasize profits!'), Do Nothing! proves that behaving
naturally can work against you. Doing less will get you more.
'A compelling analysis...Allows leaders to both work less and be
better at their craft' Robert Cialdini, author of Influence
'This rare book provides a refreshing perspective and tangible
advice on leadership that isn't available anyplace else' Bob
Sutton, author of The No Asshole Rule
