Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When BIC, manufacturer of disposable ballpoint pens, wanted to grow, it looked for an idea beyond introducing new sizes and ink colors. Someone suggested lighters. LIGHTERS? With an idea that seemed crazy at first, that bright executive, instead of seeing BIC as a pen company—a business in the PEN “box”—figured out that there was growth to be found in the DISPOSABLE “box.” And he was right. Now there are disposable BIC lighters, razors, even phones. The company opened its door to a host of opportunities. IT INVENTED A NEW BOX. Your business can, too. And simply thinking “out of the box” is not the answer. True ingenuity needs structure, hard analysis, and bold brainstorming. It needs to start THINKING IN NEW BOXES —a revolutionary process for sustainable creativity from two strategic innovation experts from The Boston Consulting Group (BCG). To make sense of the world, we all rely on assumptions, on models—on what Luc de Brabandere and Alan Iny call “boxes.” If we are unaware of our boxes, they can blind us to risks and opportunities. This innovative book challenges everything you thought you knew about business creativity by breaking creativity down into five steps: • Doubt everything. Challenge your current perspectives. • Probe the possible. Explore options around you. • Diverge. Generate many new and exciting ideas, even if they seem absurd. • Converge. Evaluate and select the ideas that will drive breakthrough results. • Reevaluate. Relentlessly. No idea is a good idea forever. And did we mention Reevaluate? Relentlessly. Creativity is paramount if you are to thrive in a time of accelerating change. Replete with practical and potent creativity tools, and featuring fascinating case studies from BIC to Ford to Trader Joe’s, Thinking in New Boxes will help you and your company overcome missed opportunities and stay ahead of the curve. This book isn’t a simpleminded checklist. This is Thinking in New Boxes. And it will be fun. (We promise.) Praise for Thinking in New Boxes “Excellent . . . While focusing on business creativity, the principles in this book apply anywhere change is needed and will be of interest to anyone seeking to reinvent herself.”—Blogcritics “Thinking in New Boxes is a five-step guide that leverages the authors’ deep understanding of human nature to enable readers to overcome their limitations and both imagine and create their own futures. This book is a must-read for people living and working in today’s competitive environment.”—Ray O. Johnson, Ph.D., chief technology officer, Lockheed Martin “Thinking In New Boxes discusses what I believe to be one of the fundamental shifts all companies/brands need to be thinking about: how to think creatively, in order to innovate and differentiate our brands. We need to thrive and lead in a world of accelerating change and this book challenges us to even greater creativity in our thinking. One of the best business books I’ve read in a long time.”—Jennifer Fox, CEO, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts “As impressive as teaching new tricks to old dogs, Thinking in New Boxes is both inspirational and practical—a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to sharpening one’s wits in order to harness creativity in the workplace.”—Peter Gelb, general manager, Metropolitan Opera

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlock your potential and finally move forward. A recent study showed that when doctors tell heart patients they will die if they don't change their habits, only one in seven will be able to follow through successfully. Desire and motivation aren't enough: even when it's literally a matter of life or death, the ability to change remains maddeningly elusive. Given that the status quo is so potent, how can we change ourselves and our organizations? In Immunity to Change, authors Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey show how our individual beliefs--along with the collective mind-sets in our organizations--combine to create a natural but powerful immunity to change. By revealing how this mechanism holds us back, Kegan and Lahey give us the keys to unlock our potential and finally move forward. And by pinpointing and uprooting our own immunities to change, we can bring our organizations forward with us. This persuasive and practical book, filled with hands-on diagnostics and compelling case studies, delivers the tools you need to overcome the forces of inertia and transform your life and your work.

Eighty percent of employees want nothing to do with their organizations, or the managers who run them. Great management principles, once the backbone of successful companies, are now often used and manipulated by corporate leaders for their own gain. If left unchecked, these formerly great principles turn into malpractices that damage morale, thwart productivity and destroy companies. Management Malpractice provides practical advice for preventing and curing abuses and shows how managers and organizations can work together to restore value to their organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Decoding Reality: Spycraft Meets Self-Development" is an invigorating guide that intertwines the exhilarating world of espionage with the introspective journey towards self-improvement and career advancement. Authored by a seasoned intelligence expert, this book presents an innovative approach, showing how the skills and strategies used in intelligence operations can be applied to personal and professional growth. At its core, "Decoding Reality" explores the unexpected parallels between the art of espionage and the quest for personal fulfillment. The author, drawing on a wealth of experience from high-stakes intelligence missions, unveils how the essence of happiness and success, much like covert messages in espionage, is a complex code waiting to be deciphered. The book is a fusion of spy tales and insightful lessons, offering a unique perspective on life's challenges and opportunities. Each chapter in "Decoding Reality" is structured as a mission, guiding the reader through various aspects of spy-craft and how they relate to everyday life. Topics include strategic thinking, resilience, sharp observation, and decision-making under pressure. The book demonstrates how these skills, honed in the world of intelligence, are equally vital in navigating personal and professional landscapes. Strategic thinking, a cornerstone of intelligence work, is presented as a tool for making more informed decisions and achieving long-term goals. The book delves into techniques for analysing complex situations, planning ahead, and anticipating outcomes, empowering readers to apply these methods to their own life scenarios. Resilience, another key theme, is explored through the lens of covert operations. The author shares how resilience developed in high-pressure intelligence missions can be a powerful asset in overcoming personal setbacks and challenges. This section includes practical advice on building mental toughness and adaptability. Observational skills, crucial in intelligence gathering, are shown to enhance interpersonal relationships and self-awareness. The book provides exercises and tips on improving attentiveness to details in one's environment and in interactions with others, leading to deeper connections and better understanding of oneself and others. "Decoding Reality" also emphasises the importance of ethical considerations and the balance between achieving objectives and maintaining personal integrity. It addresses the moral dilemmas often encountered in espionage and parallels them with everyday ethical choices, encouraging readers to navigate their own moral compass. Throughout the book, personal anecdotes from the author's career in intelligence add authenticity and excitement, bringing the lessons to life. These stories not only captivate but also serve as real-world examples of how espionage tactics can be applied outside of the intelligence community. "Decoding Reality" is not just a book; it's a call to action. It challenges readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery, using the tools and techniques of espionage to unlock their potential. It's an invitation to start decoding the realities of one's life, whether the reader is driven by curiosity, self-improvement, or professional development. It's a compelling read for anyone interested in intelligence, personal development, or simply looking for a unique approach to navigating the complexities of life.
