Publisher's Synopsis

Just try harder.
Just work harder. Just do more.
But what happens when working harder doesn't seem to be getting you better results? You've got to get unstuck. 
In Getting Unstuck, Bob Sullivan and Hugh Thompson show the different kinds of plateaus that can hold you back and how they can be overcome. Using case studies of both success and failure-including Derek Jeter, Blockbuster, and Google-they identify how to avoid pitfalls and to incorporate the peak behaviors that place breakthroughs within anyone's grasp. If you've ever given more and more to a broken relationship, a weight-loss regimen, or a stalled career-only to get less and less in return-Getting Unstuck will change your life.

About the Publisher

Plume

Plume was founded in 1970 as the trade paperback imprint of New American Library. In its early history, Plume focused primarily on nonfiction titles, publishing approximately 35 titles per year. In the early 1980s, as trade paperbacks were rapidly becoming the format of choice among a large segment of book buyers, Plume began expanding its reach, and became recognized as one of the pre-eminent trade paperback imprints. The 1980's saw Plume make its mark with a number of major bestsellers, including Toni Morrison's Tar Baby, Erica Jong's Fanny, Russell Baker's Growing Up, and Gloria Steinem's Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions, among others. Now, in 2014, Plume is publishing 85 to 100 titles a year, and its backlist currently encompasses approximately 700 titles.
