Is Invisible Friction slowing your organization down?
Most organizations don’t lose momentum because people don’t care.
They lose momentum when the system creates hidden friction that drains energy, trust, execution and performance.
SHBN Global helps leaders see the system behind the symptoms – and turn insight into movement.
When good people and strong strategies still don’t create movement
These are rarely isolated problems.
They are signals of Invisible Friction in the system.
Across organizations, the symptoms look familiar:
Strategies that don’t stick
Unclear priorities
Exhausted managers
Silos and handoff problems
Slow execution
Change fatigue
THE INVISIBLE FRICTION
THE BOOK THAT STARTS THE CONVERSATION
The Invisible Friction gives leaders a language for something many already sense: that something is slowing the organization down, even when the strategy, structure and intentions look right on paper.
The book is not the end product. It is the first gateway into a deeper conversation about how organizations actually work.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
The combination of Anna's experience in change management and Mårten's business perspective makes the book both relevant and thought-provoking.
A book that really puts into words the invisible obstacles that often slow down organizations without anyone really being able to point out why.
BYWRTRS
"The Invisible Friction is filled with real-life stories that show how a more human way of leading can create positive results – for both organizations and people."
“The book doesn’t just put words to the problem. It offers a different way of thinking: instead of doing more, understand what creates the friction—and build the conditions for people to perform.”
How do we lead change? How do we create healthy organizations?
These questions Anna Ahrenfelt write about in the newly released book "The invisible friction" together with Mårten Stenfors.
