Change is hard be it within an individual or an organisation and it is certainly undeniable, to overcome through these changes positively and deal with different issues calmly this book is just perfect.
Where the Heath brothers really shine is in illustrating through stories and real-world examples how to systematically go about creating change.
There are three basic tasks for successful change directed by Heath brothers:
- Directing the rider
- Motivating the elephant
- Shaping the path i.e. the environment.
Rather than describing these three tasks we would rather recommend reading it in the book itself.
If we have to give an overall expression, an outstanding job of transforming a hefty amount of behavioral psychology into succinct and actionable steps.
Brothers said , Coaches can put into practice with their own clients immediately.
To their credit, there’s never a moment in this book where you lose sight of the overall message.
