    Unstuck: A Tool for Yourself, Your Team, and Your World

     
    Field guide for getting out of a rut.
    8/30/2004

    We've all been there. It's the supply problem that seemingly can't be fixed, the personnel decision impossible to make, the budget quandary with no win-win solution. In short, you can't make a decision. You're stuck.

    Written by Yale School of Management professor Sandra Spataro and management consultant Keith Yamashita, Unstuck is a short but sweet field guide for individuals and organizations paralyzed and unable to move forward.

    Born out of a class that Spataro and Yamashita taught to MBA students at Yale, the book presents a process that leaders can use to identify, diagnose, and remedy their condition of paralysis. After facing up to the fact that you are stuck, the authors suggest seven potential causes for your condition: overwhelmed, exhausted, directionless, hopeless, battle-torn, worthless, and alone. But don't despair. Unstuck also offers seven solutions with case examples that readers can use to emerge from the fog. An innovative and refreshing presentation of photos, diagrams, and illustrations adds to the book's effectiveness.

    If you can't decide which business book to buy, maybe Unstuck is the right choice.
