Getting It Done: How to Lead When You're Not in Charge

Summary

Does it seem that good ideas go nowhere at your company, that meetings are often a waste of time, and that nobody seems to be in charge? In Getting It Done, Roger Fisher and Alan Sharp tackle the inertia that afflicts many groups. The authors advance the idea of lateral leadership as a means of breaking apart the logjams that inhibit collaboration in organizations, and they offer surefire ways to help anyone get better results from coworkers. Getting It Done explains how to best help a group formulate a clear vision of the results they want, suggest a course of action that everyone can all implement, and help everyone learn from past experiences. Gleaned from their decades of experience as negotiators, mediators, and consultants to organizations, Getting It Done gives you the practical tools needed to influence your peers and bosses and get the results you seek.
