About this listen
Changing how we work can feel overwhelming. Like trying to budge an enormous boulder. We’re stifled by the gravity of the way we’ve always done things. And we spend so much time fighting fires—and fighting colleagues—that we lack the energy to shift direction.
But with the right strategy, we can move the boulder. 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.
Heath weaves together fascinating examples, ranging from a freakishly effective fast-food drive-thru to a simple trick from couples therapy to an inspirational campaign that saved a million cats.
In Reset, 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 book investigates mysteries: Why the middle is the roughest part of a change effort. Why inefficiency can sometimes accelerate progress. Why getting “buy-in” is the wrong way to think about change.
What if we could unlock forward movement—achieving progress on what matters most—without the need for more resources? The same people, the same assets…but dramatically better results. Yesterday, we were stuck. Today, we reset.

Critic reviews
"A management consultant and fellow at a Duke University leadership center narrates with a relaxed friendliness that works well with his conversational writing and frequent ad-libbed comments. His clear voice and lighthearted approach to this subject matter make his field of interest—organizational effectiveness—sound inviting. He shares a method he uses for diagnosing functional problems in all types of work and social groups. It involves dissecting the flow of activity and finding out where the obstacles are and where opportunities can make things work better. From hospitals to animal shelters and fast food restaurants, his stories are exciting to hear—like a radio mystery that unfolds slowly, keeping listeners in suspense. As a practical lesson in how to understand complex systems and make strategic changes, this is a top-shelf instructional guide."
