　　Master the Art of the Workaround toBoost Your Productivity!
“With the variety of challenges leaders face every day, Russell
Bishop has hit on an amazingly simple and highly effective
solution: the ‘workaround.’ This is a brilliant approach to facing
day-to-day business challenges, and it works!” -Marshall Goldsmith,
world-renowned executive coach and author of the New York Times
bestsellers Mojo and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There “If you
want to succeed big, there is no substitute for sticking your neck
out. Russell Bishop shows how to do it without getting your head
chopped off. Workarounds That Work offers practical, down-to-earth
advice on overcoming obstacles on the job-both big and small. It’s
a must-read for anyone trying to navigate the bumpy road of the
modern workplace.” -Arianna Huffington, cofounder and
editor-in-chief, the Huffington Post “Workarounds That Work tackles
one problem area after another, busting myths and giving practical
advice along the way.” -Dave Logan, professor at the Marshall
School of Business at USC and bestselling coauthor of Tribal
Leadership “Workarounds That Work goes where none of the other
productivity books go-into the messy, cky, hard-to-control stuff
that we all face every single day. You’ll finish this book with a
fresh ake on how to think about productivity and at least a
half-dozen new ways to get things done.” -Les McKeown, Wall Street
Journal and USA Today bestselling author of Predictable Success
“Today’s relentless demands of work require a new model of how we
get things done. Workarounds that Work envisions work as a
continuous stream of free-flowing accomplishments instead of the
headaches, inefficiencies, and stresses we associate with work
today. You’ll never experience red tape again.” -Tony Schwartz,
CEO, The Energy Project, and bestselling author of The Way We’re
Working Isn’t Working About the Book: You’ve experienced the
frustration dozens of times: you need approval on a project, but a
key sign-off person is out of town; a product is on a crash
schedule, but you’re missing an important detail; you need to move
ahead in a process, but company rules cause delays. What you need
is a workaround. In Workarounds That Work, Russell Bishop-an expert
in personal and organization transformation-teaches the art of the
workaround: a method for accomplishing a task or goal when the
normal process isn’t producing the desired results. Workarounds
help you break through the tasks and systems that keep you from the
important stuff. They even help you bring lasting change to your
organization by doing away with frustrating institutional
inefficiencies once and for all. Workarounds aren’t only about
getting things done. They’re about getting the right things done.
To ratchet up productivity, your organization needs someone who
will ask the big questions, such as: How can our systems-from
operational infrastructures to management processes-be more
efficient and effective? Do we make the most of our talent? Do our
teams work in isolation when collaboration would be more useful?
Are we wasting time, placing blame, and fighting fires when we
could instead be fixing problems? Is our direction clear, aligned,
and focused? Are you ready to be that person-the one who gets
things done, no matter what? Workarounds That Work explains how to
identify problems that make workarounds necessary and then create
the best solution available-without sacrificing quality or doing a
less-than-stellar job. With Bishop’s strategies at your disposal,
you can conquer anything that stands in your way at work-even when
it seems like your organization’s culture is pitted against what
you know is best for it.
