Stop the Stupid and Build a Smarter, More Productive Organization
The way businesses operate is broken. You see it every day — inefficient systems, endless frustrations, and wasted time. Only 32% of employees feel engaged, while managers spend up to 3.5 hours a day fixing problems caused by flawed work systems. The result is frustration, squandered resources, and missed opportunities.
In PROACTIVE Problem Solving, Doug Hall — Founder of Eureka! Ranch & Co-Founder & CEO of Brain Brew Distillery — delivers a bold solution to “Stop the Stupid” and eliminate what’s not working. His proven approach, developed through decades of innovation leadership, empowers organizations to find and fix problems by engaging everyone from the frontline to the C-suite in the problem-solving process.
Grounded in real-world success, this book draws from Doug’s experience leading over 20,000 innovations at Eureka! Ranch and scaling Brain Brew Distillery from a startup to producing over 100,000 cases of bourbon annually.
