YPL Presents: How to Change What’s Not Working With Author Dan Heath

Are you ready for a revolutionary guide to fixing what’s not working—in systems and processes, organizations and companies, and even in our daily lives? Join us for an enlightening conversation with bestselling author Dan Heath as he talks about his new book, Reset: How to Change What’s Not Working. 

Register here for this special event.

In Reset, Heath explores a framework for getting unstuck and making the changes that matter. The secret is to find “leverage points”: places where a little bit of effort can yield a disproportionate return. Then, we can thoughtfully rearrange our resources to push on those points. In this talk, you’ll learn:

• Why the feeling of progress can be your secret weapon in accelerating change;
• How leaders can uncover and stop wasteful activities;
• Why your team’s motivation is often squandered—and how to avoid that mistake;
• How you can jumpstart your change efforts by beginning with a “burst.”

The YPL Presents: Virtual Author series is funded and supported by the Foundation for the Yonkers Public Library.
