Why read it?

1 author picked The Zigzag Principle as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

We all need to have our conditioning challenged occasionally, and this book does exactly that.

It takes the idea that success is a straight line and turns it on its head. Rich Christiansen argues that the best goal setting isn’t linear. Instead, he encourages readers to literally zigzag to their goals. His book is important because it teaches leaders how to be nimble, flexible, and resilient.

The zigzag principle is simple, powerful, and offers a totally new way of approaching business (and life). 

From Tissa's list on leveling up your leadership.
