This review is from: The Power of Insight: Finding the Courage to Connect in Business (Paperback)

This is a wonderful book with a simple but profound message: by combining our rationality and our emotions and let them work together instead of against each other, each and any of us can start "seeing" solutions and visioning a future we want to make happen. The power of insight, although focussed on business and business cases can be used by business people but also all of us who want to find new solutions to old problems, be focused, and become a visionary.The excercises are easy to do and very helpful.Do read this book over the holidays: it will help you sharpen your mind and vision, and give your resolutions for the new year more meaning.

This review is from: The Power of Insight: Finding the Courage to Connect in Business (Paperback)

In this book is captured so wonderfully simple yet masterful just what it takes to rise above yourself in a new and refreshing state of mind. It is a pleasure to discover that true leadership is something you can achieve by using this simple step to step method, focussing you whenever the old emotions run away with you , blurring your view, or when you become so rational that all feeling is squeezed out of your decision making. The authors practically jump off the pages to set you straight on what it takes to have you not just look at the bare facts , but to really SEE what must be done.
The enthusiasm this book radiates is going to work miracles for organisations that need and do not shy away from a courageous and honest approach. For the individual it evens the way to finally achieving that Dream that always seemed to be just out of reach. Get a handle on you inner motivations. The exercises are easy to use and apply to any field of interest. And best thing: they seem to work miracles the moment you use them. SEE for yourself!
