About this book
Good ideas don't die of natural causes. They are far more likely to die on an average Tuesday.We have all been there, you know the moment. Someone floats an idea, heads nod, and you'd be forgiven for thinking everyone was on board, yet nobody asks who's actually doing this or what done even looks like. Progress, right? Or so it seems.In this short book, Amie Fox uses the everyday meeting to illustrate how well-intentioned behaviours in the workplace prevent progress. She explores simple adjustments to help people to master the art of accountability, enhance the effectiveness of communications and foster transparent and productive collaboration.Inside, you’ll see:Why nobody objecting isn't the same as everybody agreeingHow to name one owner without starting a small warWhy "I'll just say I've no update" is a confession, not a strategy Drawing on real world case studies from Google, Toyota, and Pixar, Amie showcases how three simple adjustments can lead to huge improvements in the workplace. These are: the Lock Moment, Single-Point Accountability, and the Return Date. Together they form what she calls the Minimum Viable Install, the smallest bit of structure a good idea needs to survive a working week.
