A must have for anyone who runs a business!

"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."

This book shows how we can develop a culture of innovation within any organization. I highly recommend this book for use with work and family.

A great guide for a busy leader.

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.

It's for Everyone

This book is not nearly as complicated as the description indicates. It is for anyone who wants to make meaningful change-in a business, in an organization, or even in a family. By showing you how to think differently--clockwise thinking--the author gives you tools to make new decisions about what you always thought was true. That opens the door to new insights, new learning, and better outcomes. Clockwise Thinking helped me with both work and family situations. It is great!
