Change happens little by little. Barry O’Reilly, the founder and CEO of ExecCamp, shows you how to discover small steps that can lead to big changes in your life. His “Cycle of Unlearning” offers a deceptively simple, effective framework for facilitating individual and organizational transformation. The cycle starts with recognizing that the things you think you know may keep you from reaching the next breakthrough. O’Reilly’s style is a bit academic, and he’s sometimes repetitive, but he consistently proves his framework’s ability to seed organizational transformation when people apply it consciously. Managers, CEOs and entrepreneurs will find worthwhile, if basic, lessons that can help your firm break out of a rut – even if you didn’t know it was in one. O’Reilly writes for anyone seeking new ways to move themselves and their firms forward. If that sounds familiar, maybe learning to “unlearn” is your next step.

Take-Aways

If your system no longer delivers the results you want, “unlearn” it.
When you enter the “Cycle of Unlearning,” you will progress through three steps: “Unlearn,” “Relearn” and “Breakthrough.”
“Think big” about goals, but implement change by adopting small, easy habits.
