Unstuck: Disrupting the Status Quo will give you the tools to change your organization, the way you think, and lead. We can do things differently.

Whether you’re in nonprofits, government, or the corporate sector, the same systems and thinking problems persist. Organizational leaders, regardless of their particular background, personal strengths, or specific title, can recognize and disrupt status quo traps that keep us stuck. We can develop skills and practices that make change in our sphere of influence, and beyond.

Unstuck will show you that we have more power than we think to change the culture and systems we exist within.

In this book you will…

  • Learn how cognitive biases affect everyone with a human brain, shaping our thinking, our work, and our relationships
  • See why “nice” is a problem that can block change, and how scarcity thinking traps us.
  • Reflect on a variety of questions about why we, and you, do things the way we do.
  • Discover tools and strategies for challenging the status quo and creating change in your own sphere of influence, from asking powerful questions to developing values that ground your leadership.

“Our “niceness” problem exists everywhere—and I believe nonprofit nice is a special brew all our own.

“Nice” is a problem indeed, and it slips by unnoticed for the problem it is specifically because it is often lauded as a good thing. Nice is getting in our own way. Nice keeps us from having meaningful conversations about progress, problems, and what should happen next. Nice is often counter to accountability and change.

“Nice” is also a stealthy manifestation of white supremacy culture, designed to keep people with power and privilege comfortable.”
