Book Description

July 2004
Winner of 2006 Fresh Voices Award. Thinking Clockwise is about innovation - what fuels it, what drains it and how to inspire it. Author Dennis Stauffer provides a unique and powerful strategy for changing the way employees think and managers lead. He offers an imaginative yet brutally pragmatic approach to doing business.

This brilliantly simple handbook explores innovation as a business necessity, not an option, and presents solutions in an easy-to-implement field guide format.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for anyone who runs a business!, December 13, 2004
This review is from: Thinking Clockwise: A Field Guide for the Innovative Leader (Hardcover)
"Thinking Clockwise helped me expand my business by teaching me how to think more creatively and be open to new possibilities in my work and clientele, without sacrificing my credibility or financial bottom line. This insightful guide is a must have for anyone who runs a business, whether small or large. It taught me how to stay innovative enough to be competitive and how to listen to my "gut" instincts in making business decisions. As an independent writer and editor who works with a wide range of clients, I found this book to be indispensable when it came to thinking like a true leader."

5.0 out of 5 stars A great guide for a busy leader., November 9, 2004
By 
This review is from: Thinking Clockwise: A Field Guide for the Innovative Leader (Hardcover)
This accessible guide provides excellent insights about the importance of information flow in organizations. The loop of the clock emphasizes the critical role of paying attention to the continuous feedback loops in the organization. The way key thoughts are organized in a page-by-page way with brief field notes makes this a useful and handy reference. Written by an experienced journalist, the book is clear and well-written.
