Resumen del Editor

You are a leader. You have what it takes to positively influence people. Yet you may find that your business isn't as nimble and good things don't happen continuously, or you fear you are going to lose your nimbleness as your business matures. Good leaders anticipate; poor leaders react. Great leaders orchestrate change to generate extraordinary momentum, and to never stall.

The Pivot introduces four stages of a well-orchestrated pivot, and identifies six key indicators to track, starting now, as you position for a performance breakthrough:

1. Clarity: get clear and be clear (about strategy, including vision, purpose, values and direction) 2. Mastery mindset: open, growing mind 3. Nimble decision-making: best next step 4. Strategic thinking: play the movie (think through to the likely end before a judgment call) 5. Talent adaptability: roles fit strategy 6. Coaching: manager as coach

This book serves you, the leader, in better orchestrating change and achieving momentum for your business, while creating a great workplace.

A Highly Focused and Relevant Resource

Most of us in company or organization leadership are not working in fast growth tech startups. Here is your book, one where the author intelligently applies principles of harnessing change to allow your company to thrive regardless of the challenges arising from your legacy operations, company culture or industry dynamics. Such a helpful framework, and told in a progressive, easy to follow narrative. It’s an easy listen, but also insightful and challenging. I bought a hard copy as well so I can leave myself notes.

Must-read for all business owners, regardless of s

As a former educator and business owner, I was delighted to read this book that is expertly written, in a way that is easy to understand and put into practice. It's a must-read for all business owners, regardless of size.

Wonderfully Narrated, Practical and Poignant

Many guides to making changes in your life require you to jump head-first or completely change your actions and beliefs. I find The Pivot to be a well-balanced and realistic way to create the incremental and digestible changes in your business (and life) that can actually create the big changes you want to see. Jumping from 1-10 isn't practical; but you can count your way there, and it won't be daunting, and you'll understand the path you took to arrive. An excellent listen as well; Lori is a great narrator.

Pivot your Plans and Goals to real Results

What I appreciated about this book is that it acts as my sanity check for my Business Plan and Planned Goals and associated efforts. Through Lori's sharing of her actual work experience and self thoughts as carefully assembled strategy, I am continuing to benefit in applying the actual examples towards building (Pivoting) my start-up business towards success.

Would recommend "The Pivot" to all Entrepreneurs, Business Leaders and even Individuals looking for positive and incremental changes to their plan, plans or lives. This book acts as a wonderful roadmap towards success, Will recommend to my network of Entrepreneurs and others with gratitude.

Last thought, listen to this book and take notes and bookmark relevant checks and thoughts and keep doing that as often as you can until it becomes part of your mantra for success.

If a Business Don't Pivot It Might Become Extinct

The Pivot is an amazing and practical book with many vibrant stories, diagrams and recommendations for how to Pivot from where you are now to where you want to go to be a nimble focused and extraordinary company.
