From Insight to Action: Six New Ways to Think, Lead, and Achieve

• 360-degree thinking--being cognizant that ideas and insights from anywhere are interconnected
• A heightened sense of internal intuition--the art of blending knowledge with perception to make better decisions
• Dynamic decision-making--a framework for determining whether a decision should be made more on intuition, data or processes, or both
• Using powerful questions--recognizing patterns and creating meaning behind data gathered
• Understanding change--identifying the factors underlying people's ability to absorb and embrace change
• Diversity of thought--seeing and valuing stylistic differences in thinking, personal experiences, and inborn human characteristics.
