What do these people have in common?
- The CEO of a major global medical imaging firm, who, when facing a once-in-a-lifetime business crisis, went for a short walk instead of firing off from a crisis action plan. The off-playbook actions he did take led to unexpected positive financial and goodwill benefits for the business.
- A proven Silicon Valley founder who shunned the default venture capital route for fundraising and chose the less used (and as it turns out, less stressful) crowd-funding path for his fourth venture, significantly exceeding his fundraising goals.
- A young millennial who lost her job, rushed into another unfulfilling one, and then took a career break before landing her dream job.
They all leveraged the power of strategic pauses and reflective thinking to achieve remarkable results and unexpected wins. So can you!
In our fast paced work, life and businesses, we routinely face a myriad of choices, pressure and deadlines, peppered with well meaning but conflicting advice from experts. Award winning book, IN/ACTION – Rethinking the Path to Results explores the intersection of behavioral science, decision making and leadership principles to identify decisioning and prioritization strategies leading to, oftentimes unexpected, positive results. Best of all, the solutions which emerge from these strategies are uniquely tailored to our situation and originate in our own creativity.
The more ambitious and goal-oriented we are, the more we chase default action to achieve desired outcomes; action which is unnecessary and often counterproductive. This book offers a counter-intuitive but masterful framework to develop clarity in decision-making, leading to remarkable results.
In this book, you will:
- learn from stories and insights from author Jinny Uppal’s extensive business/life experience and interviews with over 30 successful global professionals;
- develop a framework on how to leverage goal setting, reflective thinking and leadership principles for better results;
- discover the role that thoughtful inactivity plays in driving creative thinking and progress through established neuroscience research.
IN/ACTION provides a way to achieve what we want without paying the price of mindless doing.
