DESCRIPTION:Join us as Sutton and Rao teach people how to become “frictio
 n fixers.”\n\nSutton and Rao say skilled friction fixers think and act l
 ike trustees of others’ time. They provide friction forensics to help re
 aders identify where to avert and repair bad organizational friction and w
 here to maintain and inject good friction. Then their help pyramid shows h
 ow friction fixers do their work\, from reframing friction troubles they c
 an’t fix right now\, so they feel less threatening\, to designing and re
 pairing organizations. Sutton and Rao dig into the causes and solutions fo
 r five of the most common and damaging friction troubles: oblivious leader
 s\, addition sickness\, broken connections\, jargon monoxide\, and fast an
 d frenzied people and teams.\n\nSound familiar? Sutton and Rao are here to
