We often assume that strength lies in numbers — more money, time, possessions, budgets, resources, and so on. However, reality dictates that this is not always the case. How do some organisation and people succeed with minimum resources while yet others fail, despite having it all? This is exactly what Rice University professor, Scott Soneshein, explores in this book.
The author describes a collective mindset he defines as “chasing,” an approach oriented around acquiring resources, as opposed to utilising those on hand and how working less while creatively “stretching” resources, can yield positive outcomes. Using stories and case studies of individuals from business, education, sports, medicine and a host of other professions, who have succeeded merely by using some of their most unlikely assets, Soneshein delineates his point. He elaborately explores how, stretching resources helps everyone — from artists to entrepreneurs, professionals to parents — perform better with constraints, when they stretch existing resources.
