345: Solve Any Problem Faster, with Less Risk, and Lower Cost with Stephen Shapiro

Once in a while, when I sit down to devour a new book, it isn’t long before I realize it’s the kind of book I need to refer to my friends and colleagues because I can’t stop thinking about how much they could be helped by it. The book I’m featuring in today’s episode is just such a book! The author of this book is Stephen Shapiro. He’s written six previous books, including Best Practices Are Stupid. He’s also a regular columnist for Inc., and is in the Speaker Hall of Fame. Stephen’s latest book is called Invisible Solutions: 25 Lenses that Reframe and Help Solve Difficult Business Problems, and it’s a book I think every leader should read. And, it’s a book you should be encouraging your team to read as well. I hope you’ll click the play button below to join our conversation now. For a summary, just keep scrolling.
