Successful organizations and successful individuals have a hard time reinventing themselves. This is because they fall prey to what we call ‘System Traps.’ Any trap is a deceptive invite that allures the organization, and the people within to believe that embracing it is in their best interest.

Successful organizations and successful individuals have a hard time reinventing themselves. This is because they fall prey to what we call ‘System Traps.’ Any trap is a deceptive invite that allures the organization, and the people within to believe that embracing it is in their best interest. A trap may even give you the initial comfort that you are on the right track, waiting for you to fall into it.
Interestingly, most well-intended advice from consultants, facilitation from trainers, and mainstream approaches to change management unwittingly set traps, such as:
· The Assumption Trap
· Shifting the Burden Trap
· The Progress Trap
· The Escalation Trap
· The Success to the Successful Trap
· The Limits to Success and Failure Trap
· Seeking the Wrong Goal Trap
· The Tragedy of Commons Trap
· The Rule Beating Trap
This book uses a story format to introduce you to the world of system traps and activate your systems thinking capabilities. Through the book, you will learn to spot system traps, discover an organization’s life-giving energies, create generative images of the future, change stunting organizational narratives, and emerge as an effective change facilitator.
In ‘The Escape Trap,’ you play the role of a decision-maker. We hope you will engage with the story, make decisions, fall, rise, emerge victorious, and repeat.
