Move to the Edge, Declare it Center: Practices and Processes for Creatively Solving Complex Problems

In Move to the Edge, Declare it Center, Everett Harper delivers a powerful and pragmatic take on solving complex problems by, and making decisions through, uncertainty. You'll learn to discover insights quickly by experimenting, iterating, then building infrastructure to sustain your innovations in your teams and organizations.

The author demonstrates a set of practices, processes, and infrastructure that addresses complex problems alongside a set of methods to systematize, scale, and share best practices throughout an organization. In the book, the author offers a new framework for leadership that's perfectly suited to an increasingly volatile, uncertain, and unpredictable world. You'll also get: effective ways to make decisions in situations without complete information; strategies for sustaining your team through uncertain times; and techniques for managing personal anxiety—a key leadership skill for the next decade. Case studies of World Central Kitchen, COVID public health policymakers, and California wildfire responders illustrate the framework, while pragmatic playbooks about salary transparency, remote work, and diversity and inclusion help leaders apply the framework in their own organizations. The author shares personal stories and winning strategies that help leaders maintain high performance, avoid burnout, and enable companies to thrive.
