Summary
The Human Element is for anyone who wants to introduce a new idea or innovation into the world. Most marketers, innovators, executives, and activists operate on a deep assumption. It is the belief that the best way to convince people to embrace a new idea is to heighten the appeal of the idea itself. We instinctively believe that if we add enough value, people will eventually say "yes." This reflex leads us down a path of adding features and benefits to our ideas or increasing the sizzle of our messaging-all in the hope of getting others on board. We call this instinct the "Fuel-based mindset." The Fuel-based mindset explains so much of what we do, from adding countless trivial features to software, to bolting a sixth blade onto a shaving razor.
By focusing on Fuel, innovators neglect the other half of the equation-the psychological Frictions that oppose change. Frictions create drag on innovation. And though they are rarely considered, overcoming these Frictions is essential for bringing new ideas into the world. The Human Element highlights the four Frictions that operate against innovation.
Perfect for business leaders, product managers, educators, and anyone else who seeks to bring new and exciting ideas to life, The Human Element is an indispensable resource to help people overcome the powerful forces of human nature that instinctively resist change.

Yet another book spoiled by the reader!
I'm struggling to listen to this due to the reader. I know the content will be very useful to me, but the lack of content driven intonation makes it difficult to follow. Shame.

Nothing new
The authors came up with a nice metaphor for innovation and wrote a book around it calling on anecdotes and case studies that you e probably heard before - not sure who this book is for. I certainly didn’t learn anything new.
The narrator is robotic and sounds bizarre. Everything from the content to the performance is poorly executed. A very forgettable book
