Accelerate! With Andy Paul

Craig Lemasters is the CEO of GXG and the author of the book Unstuck: How to Unlock and Activate the Wisdom of Others. A great majority of things that leaders get stuck on are usually things that somebody else has already figured out. Craig brings together experts, called operators, for Rapid Cycle Learning whose purpose is to share and gain wisdom by multiplying knowledge and experience.  Leaders know this, it's where to get this learning that is the question. Andy and Craig discuss the 5 steps to get unstuck, which include humility, destination, smart people asking for what they need, and thinking outside the building, not the box. This is a structure for wisdom-based learning that provides new ways of looking at things from mentors. HIGHLIGHT QUOTES Moving slightly away from the business model can get you stuck - Craig: "We always thought that moving outside of the core meant I make water bottles, now I'm gonna make chairs, as an extreme example. And that'd be pretty extreme and you'd probably get stuck.
