Editorial Reviews
Review
"...vitally important issues that need to be studied more closely..." (Long Range Planning)
Review
"In this highly readable, soundly practical book, Gryskiewicz distills the wisdom gained in his twenty-five years of working with the world's most creative organizations. The lesson is this: Managers can enable and even direct the seemingly random activity that often precedes creative breakthroughs and, in doing so, they can increase the probability of big hits." —Teresa M. Amabile, MBA Class of 1954 Professor of Business Administration Senior Associate Dean, Director of Research, Harvard Business School

Amabile, MBA Class of 1954 Professor of Business Administration Senior Associate Dean, Director of Research, Harvard Business School
"We are constantly told that the very survival and future success of our business corporations depends on how fast and how efficient we seek out viable opportunities—and we are reminded that this is a continuous process. This book tells us how to do it and do it in a way that taps into the full innovative and creative capabilities of all employees. Stan Gryskiewicz's work adds a distinctly human dimension to the whole renewal movement." —Gerry Rooney, former director of executive development, World Bank
"Stan is an acknowledged pro at skillfully weaving practical business solutions with creative processes. In Positive Turbulence he takes us beyond just using the potential of the enormous change all around us into deliberately unsettling our comfort zones to inspire new opportunity. This is required reading for organizations looking to break out of the pack." —Walter Elcock, merger transition executive, Bank of America
"To present, in a clear and comprehensive manner, the complexity ofmanaging corporate renewal in times of crises and chaos requires the experience and insightfulness of both an analytic and creative mind. Dr. Stan Gryskiewicz unites those qualities and has eloquently described the powerful tool of creating Positive Turbulence. This book is a must read for survival and success in the 21st century!" —Patrick Colemont, M.Sc., co-founder, European Association for Creativity and Innovation
"With Positive Turbulence, Stan Gryskiewicz gives us the wisdom of his career-long work in applied creativity. What he knows is well worth knowing. For anyone with a team, an opportunity and a corporate playing field, his book is a gift." —Frank P. Bordonaro, Ph.D, chief learning officer, The Prudential Insurance Company of America
