We have all the “know-how” but the real question is; do we have the “do-how?” Organizations spend millions of dollars on leadership development, executive coaching and management training, yet what really changes? It’s a wonder that we aren’t all making the changes and getting the results we want. Yet we meet people all the time who are stuck and feel frustrated with the pace of change. Same behavior, same results and nothing changes. It’s as if we have all the theories and concepts of what to do but we don’t have the capacity to act in a way that is consistent with what we know will work.

Drawing on dozens of real life stories and examples, Corbet and Roberts show how we can cut through the inch-thick chains that anchor us to old patterns of behavior and start to make the choices that move us from know-how to “do-how.” The authors have distilled 15 years of experience working with thousands of senior executives in hundreds of organizations to set out the practical and proven steps that can help you develop the “do-how” you need to make the changes you want in any aspect of your work or life. Illustrated with remarkable, real life breakthroughs, the deceptively simple methods laid out in this book have worked for others and can work for you.
