{ "item_title" : "Break the Stall", "item_author" : [" Vibhas Ratanjee "], "item_description" : "A structural diagnosis of why well-run organizations resist the change they need In Break the Stall: The Five Mechanisms Holding Your Organization Back and How to Dismantle Them, Vibhas Ratanjee, Global Practice Leader for Leadership Development at Gallup, draws on three decades of advising CEOs and executive teams across four continents to reveal why the most transformation-resistant organizations are not struggling ones but well-run, well-resourced ones whose own systems prevent genuine change. Break the Stall identifies five structural mechanisms that convert genuine intent into stagnation: permission architecture, sensemaking debt, the deficit reflex, urgency addiction, and structural nostalgia. Ratanjee introduces a coined vocabulary for failures leaders repeatedly experience but cannot yet name, including preservation currency, the courage tax, Structural Sight, and the Extraction Economy. Intellectual dialogues with Gary Hamel, Patrick Lencioni, Dave Ulrich, Otto Scharmer, and Amy Edmonson enrich the analysis. Readers will also find: A diagnostic framework drawing on Gallup research and three decades of advisory work Analysis of how five self-reinforcing structural mechanisms interact, explaining why addressing any single one in isolation reliably fails A coined vocabulary that names previously unnamed organizational dysfunctions so senior leaders can examine and address them directly Practitioner evidence drawn from first-hand advisory work inside the rooms where executive decisions were made across industries The Stall Audit, a structured self-examination built into the book with questions leaders can ask in their own rooms. Written for CEOs, CHROs, and senior executive leaders who have already tried the roadmaps and still face structural stagnation, Break the Stall also serves organizational consultants and leadership development professionals seeking a diagnostic framework for why strong cultures prevent the very transformation they publicly champion.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/39/446/776/1394467761_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "32.00", "online_price" : "32.00", "our_price" : "32.00", "club_price" : "32.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
