The Human Element

More about the book

Watch your most innovative ideas take flight by overcoming the forces that resist change. This book is essential for anyone looking to introduce new ideas or innovations. Many marketers, innovators, and executives operate under the assumption that the best way to persuade people is to enhance the appeal of their ideas. This belief leads to a "Fuel-based mindset," where the focus is on adding features and benefits, hoping to gain acceptance. However, this approach often ignores the psychological Frictions that oppose change. These Frictions create resistance and must be addressed to successfully implement new ideas. The book identifies four key Frictions that hinder innovation and offers insights on how to overcome them. Readers will learn why valuable initiatives often face rejection, how to disarm resistance, and how to turn Frictions into catalysts for change. Ideal for business leaders, product managers, and educators, this resource equips individuals with the tools needed to navigate the powerful forces of human nature that instinctively resist change, ultimately enabling them to bring exciting ideas to life.
