Acting on What Matters
Book •
Peter Block's "The Answer to How is Yes" challenges conventional approaches to leadership and organizational change.
Block argues that focusing on 'how' questions—practical concerns about methods and processes—hinders true transformation.
Instead, he advocates for prioritizing 'what matters' questions, which delve into deeper values and purpose.
This shift in perspective encourages innovation, risk-taking, and a more meaningful approach to leadership.
The book provides a framework for personal and organizational growth by emphasizing the importance of commitment, values, and creating something new together.
It encourages readers to move beyond the limitations of practical concerns and embrace the possibilities of true change.
