This book is about the conflict between where you are right now and where you want to be.
You know this conflict. You live with it. It's the gap between how things are and how you believe they could be — in your team, your organisation, your career, your relationships. It's the thing that keeps you awake at 2am, not because you don't care, but because you do.
You've probably tried to close this gap before. You've had the conversations, made the case, pushed for change. Sometimes it worked for a while. Then things drifted back. The same arguments returned. The same frustrations. The same feeling of being stuck in a pattern you can see but can't shift.
What if the reason you're stuck isn't lack of effort, or lack of ideas, or the wrong people in the room? What if the conflict between where you are and where you want to be has a structure — and that structure is what's holding everything in place?
This book teaches you how to see that structure. And once you can see it, you can change it.
Why conflict matters, where the Perry Approach came from, and how the method works as a whole.
