Dasism

Piotr Pilecki describes the 'it can be done' attitude: treating a difficult situation like an equation with several solutions, and finding the best one available. On the other side is Non-Dasism, which is collecting reasons why something won't work, even before anyone tries.

The book breaks down this attitude into four pillars: self-awareness, optimism, effectiveness, and partnership. A test is included for each, so instead of reading about how to be, you check how you are.

"Dasism is characterized by the belief that there are no bad solutions, only unconsidered methods. It is a motivated commitment to achieving a goal, through continuous action, improving it, or finding a shortcut to achieve the goal."

For whom: For leaders and teams where every new idea first lands on a list of obstacles.
