Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Vance and Deacon (Think Out of the Box, Career, 1995) have written an inspiring book on corporate philosophy. They profile here ten "break-out" thinkers, including corporate officers, ministers, missionaries, psychiatrists, and teachers. Some of the breakthrough techniques they describe are how to translate values into goals, how to achieve maximum use of resources, creating an environment where employees want to participate, and cultivating mutual respect. The authors' seven keys to mastery are prayer, faith, love, acceptance, forgiveness, healing, and total commitment. This is unusual stuff to find in a book about business and potentially an exciting, new direction for corporations. The authors also recommend Peter Drucker's The Effective Executive (HarperBusiness, 1993) and Abraham Maslow's Motivation and Personality (HarperCollins, 1987). Although it is difficult to follow which author is writing in the first several chapters because the point of view shifts back and forth, the work is still recommended for all libraries.?Peggy D.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Same old, same old. Save your money.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Break Out of the Box (Hardcover)
There is nothing fresh or original here. Often one wonders what the point of this book is (besides name dropping). The title should have been "Stuck Inside the Box." The profiles at the end are idle chit-chat with no relevance to the concept of breaking out of the box. If you're looking for an inspirational book for yourself or your organization, keep looking.

It is a great book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Break Out of the Box (Hardcover)
It is refreshing to read a business book that is proctical, motivating, AND has humor! The profiles at the chapter ends showcase the ideas as relevant to real-life people, not just theories. Quick, easy, great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Powerful means of creative production,
By A Customer
This review is from: Break Out of the Box (Hardcover)
The Vance/Deacon book "Think out of the Box" contains powerful tools whose simplicity belie their strength. Working visually and in color (to name two) are so obvious once ingrained that you wonder why you needed to have it pointed out. Therein lies the real power of the book; important techniques articulated by two of the most creative people around that really work. Not "tricks". No spoon feeding. You've got to actually think about what's being said but if you do I've found the results I was looking for quite in addition to some fascinating biographies. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
