The first book in Bob Gorzynski's acclaimed strategic thinking trilogy. The world as we know it is changing rapidly and beyond recognition. To move towards a 'world that works for all' will require a profound shift in the way that we think - and the capacity for each one of us to become a leader in initiating change in our own lives, businesses and communities to begin to live in long-term sustainable harmony with the world around us. The Strategic Mind provides a framework for developing a deeper, more holistic form of thinking using seven core disciplines. Packed with examples and case studies from the very large (BP, Amazon, Apple) to the very small, the book provides both theoretical insight and practical guidance for the 21st-century manager.
