Managers and executives oftentimes reject innovation and unconventional approaches due to misplaced allegiance to the status quo. Questioning established practices or challenging prevailing sentiments is frequently met with stiff resistance.

Highly relevant to the growth crises many enterprises face in today's economic landscape, this book examines how to break barriers to spark creativity and foster new ideas. This insightful and informative work allows business executives, senior managers, and organization leaders to recognize the six organizational mindsets that impede creativity and innovation; learn how to tear down the barriers that obstruct the creative process; create an environment that allows talented people to thrive; and encourage creative collaboration in teams throughout an organization.

    One insight or one piece of advice at the right time can change everything. If your goal is to grow as a high-level leader, you’ll find this book packed with “hacks” that can permanently change the way you think, live, and lead. For instance: •                The secret of the “swizzle”—using divergent thinking to apply your ideas, experience, and skills in new ways. •                How three circles can help you know when to keep your cool and when to (productively) lose it. •                Why Pete Carroll made the right call—even though it cost the Seahawks the Superbowl—and how that can transform the way you think about failure today.  •                Worth-the-price-of-admission hiring and recruitment hacks, including which “little things” you must pay attention to and which ones you should ignore. •                Twenty “play calls”—strategies, tools, mindsets, and tricks for becoming the kind of leader you want to be.  After years of aggressive self-improvement, C-Suite Executive and ICF-Certified coach Emily Sander has distilled all her insights from a decade and a half of leadership and coaching experience into this short, easy-to-read book.
