The Shift Effect-How Small Shifts Create Big Impact

The Shift Effect, the recently released book by Tom Finn, draws a surprising conclusion based on evidence from 50 leaders:many of us regularly, and unknowingly, fall into either/or thinking. And it limits our results, our ability to scale up, and our influence. For Tom’s 50 coaching partners, this thinking at the extremes blocked things like initiation, key relationships, and big projects. But small shifts – the Shift Effect – broke numerous logjams and spurred progress. Long-delayed tasks got done. Leaders became more strategic. Key collaborations emerged. People who were overwhelmed gained control of their schedules and lives. Are you a Fixer? A Perfectionist? A Conflict Avoider? Do you know someone who is a Talker? The Selfless One? The Overbearing Leader? Ideas in The Shift Effect shifted these profiles,and they can help you or the people you are helping. Coaches, specifically, can use the framework provided to help their clients get tough problems unstuck or increase their impact
