You're Not Playing With a Full Deck:Why the Coworkers Who Drive You Crazy Are Your Unfair Advantage
THAT PERSON WHO DRIVES YOU NUTS? THEY'RE THE ACE UP YOUR SLEEVE.
With the best of intentions, you hire people who fit the mold.
But here’s the problem: when everyone fits the mold, your organization grows mold. You get stale thinking. Safe ideas. No breakthroughs.
You end up playing with only half a deck.
The perspectives you avoid—the colleagues who make you cringe, the ideas that sound crazy—are the missing cards you need most. And ignoring them is costing you.
In this book, you’ll discover the four thinking styles required for true innovation and learn to:
- Turn the colleagues who drive you crazy into your competitive advantage. They unlock what you’ve been missing.
- Identify which cards are missing from your team—and why that’s costing you breakthrough results.
- Rethink culture fit. It’s blocking your growth by making you overlook the people who could change everything.
- Ensure your meetings are playing with a full deck. The right balance of meetings with the right people leading the way.
No endless assessments. No 47-page report. No corporate BS.
Just a fast read that’ll change how you see everyone you work with, especially the ones you’d rather avoid.
