Description
The Knowing-Doing Gap: Turning Knowledge into Action for Better Performance. Firms often struggle to turn knowledge about how to improve performance into actions that produce measurable results. This gap between what is known and what is done can lead to poor decision-making and missed opportunities. In "The Knowing-Doing Gap", Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert Sutton identify the causes of this challenge and provide a practical guide for closing it. By understanding the causes of the knowing-doing gap, executives can take steps to eliminate fear, promote leaders who understand their work, and measure what matters. The authors use real-world examples from dozens of firms to illustrate how some companies overcome this challenge, while others struggle or fail. This book offers a refreshingly candid and realistic guide for improving performance in today's business.
