"The author makes a compelling case that we often start solving a problem before thinking deeply about whether we are solving the right problem. If you want the superpower of solving better problems, read this book." -- Eric Schmidt, former CEO, Google Are you solving the right problems? Have you or your colleagues ever worked hard on something, only to find out you were focusing on the wrong problem entirely? Most people have. In a survey, 85 percent of companies said they often struggle to solve the right problems. The consequences are severe: Leaders fight the wrong strategic battles. Teams spend their energy on low-impact work. Startups build products that nobody wants. Organizations implement "solutions" that somehow make things worse, not better. Everywhere you look, the waste is staggering. As Peter Drucker pointed out, there's nothing more dangerous than the right answer to the wrong question. There is a way to do better. The key is reframing, a crucial, underutilized skill that you can master with the help of this book. Using real-world stories and unforgettable examples like "the slow elevator problem," author Thomas Wedell-Wedellsborg offers a simple, three-step method - Frame, Reframe, Move Forward - that anyone can use to start solving the right problems. Reframing is not difficult to learn. It can be used on everyday challenges and on the biggest, trickiest problems you face. In this visually engaging, deeply researched book, you’ll learn from leaders at large companies, from entrepreneurs, consultants, nonprofit leaders, and many other breakthrough thinkers. It's time for everyone to stop barking up the wrong trees. Teach yourself and your team to reframe, and growth and success will follow.

From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say.

Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Mister Magoo has always appealed to me. His blindness showing his naivete, and inability to become oriented in a sometimes bizarre world, at the same time exposes the insanities surrounding all of us. It does so in a kind, gentle manner, clearly showing an absence of judgemental or hostile attitudes. He is simply lost and confused. My desire to achieve this capacity of calling attention to the injustices and unfairness all people face at one time or another, with humor and equanimity, is captured by this cartoon figure. It is in this sense that he has become my role model.

After receiving Jesus Christ as my life savior in 2000, it seemed the weight I had carried on my shoulders for so many years was lighter. The reality was that it was still there; I carried the anger, fear, sadness, hurt, and guilt wherever I went. I just hoped that one day everything would be all right. This hope kept me going as I searched for the presence of the Lord in my life. I wished I could share the lightness from Jesus. I read about it all in the Bible, but I was not able to translate it to reality. "I have come that they may have it (life) abundantly" John 10:10. This scripture was my day-to-day goal, but I still found myself carrying burdens. Worse, I saw my parents and friends going through the same process without hope. Curiosity opened the hole in me, and I began searching for how we, as Christians, could start living life to the fullest. I found the answer: I found myself, I love myself, and I am living a meaningful life. The intention of My Jesus, My Role Model is to empower my fellow Christians and me, enabling us to acknowledge the limitations we created for ourselves, and our Lord Jesus Christ, to realize our inner strength and worthiness, and make use of our given birth rights to create the world we want to live in, as well as the world we want to leave for future generations.
