AN ORIGINAL AUDIO PROGRAM FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR!

In his instant self-help classic, the international bestseller How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci, Michael J. Gelb identified seven aspects of Da Vinci’s genius that contemporary readers can emulate and apply in their own lives. Now, in WORK LIKE DA VINCI, Gelb adapts these principles to the specific demands of the workplace, sharing the innovative solutions to contemporary corporate and career challenges that have kept him in constant demand as a top-tier speaker and consultant to Fortune 500 clients.

In Gelb’s expert perspective, Da Vinci’s genius can be distilled into seven principles for the business listener:

• Ask the right questions (Curiositá) • Put your answers to work (Dimostrazione) • Develop your business senses (Sensazione) • Turn uncertainty into opportunity (Sfumato) • Strike a profitable balance (Arte/Scienza) • Integrate for success (Corporalitá) • Make the break-through connection (Connessione)

These principles will help you tackle such timeless business challenges as: leadership; innovation; teamwork; strategic planning; decision-making; managing change and uncertainty; giving powerful presentations; giving and receiving feedback; and more.

I just got done listening to Work Like da Vinci. It is brilliant with a presenation that puts you inside one of Michael's workshops. It has a rifle shot accuracy at thoughtfully addressing the most relevant needs for personal development in business in the 21st century! I offer my compliments to Michael on his ability to continuously build deeper content with greater and greater insights based on the work of Leonardo da Vinci. It is rare talent to be able to make sequels even better and richer than the original works. --Bravo Michael!

I participated in Michael Gelb's seminar on Thinking Like Leonardo through my company. It was, by far, the best educational program I've attended. And, this CD serves as a wonderful refresher.
