In his second bestseller, Charles Duhigg, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of "The Power of Habit," provides a comprehensive overview of how people, teams, and organizations can achieve extraordinary feats – from producing a successful television show to the FBI's solving of a mysterious hijacking to the successful emergency landing of a badly damaged and nearly unmaneuverable Airbus A380 with 440 passengers on board.
Duhigg attributes such feats to eight key concepts he has researched extensively and supports with compelling case studies. The concepts include motivation through freedom of choice, psychological safety in teams, the formation of mental models, and SMART goal setting.
There are no new or surprising insights among them – but numerous entertaining and compelling stories to illustrate them. And it is these stories combined with Duhigg's writing style that make the book so worth reading.
