"This is an important book that 'makes sense of how we make sense.' The authors provide a thorough, fresh, and compelling exploration into the dimensions of mental models. All leaders who want to be more effective in their actions would be served well to leverage the principles in this book to learn about how they think and make sense of the world around them."Nick PudarDirector of Strategic Initiatives, General Motors"This is a really great piece of work. It is 'immersion into the process of insight'. Truly a valuable addition to any forward-thinking person's library in light of the rapid change we face in today's world-business and personal."J.Allen Kosowksy, CPAForensic Accountant and Director, 0N2 Technologies"A masterfully written book that is sure to capture the attention of every thinking person who's willing to look at the world of business through new lenses. The Power of Impossible Thinking is both timely and intriguing."Kathy Levinson, Ph.D.Author of The 60-Second Commute"Tough-minded managers like to think they see the world as it is. Wind and Crook, drawing on recent neuroscience research, demonstrate that none of us, tough-minded or not, do anything of the sort. What we perceive as 'the world' is as much inside our heads as outside. By realizing that and making choices about how we see things, we can become much more effective managers."Rob Austin, Ph.D.Harvard Business School and co-author of Artful Making"While most of us may recognize that the world we respond to is more in our mind than in any physical reality, often we don't have a clue why this is so. This very important book clearly explains how our mental models work to construct these distinct inner worlds. And more importantly it offers empowering advice on how we can use this knowledge to work for us rather than against us in creating a better outer world for ourselves, our organizations, and our societies."Charles C. ManzBest-selling author of SuperLeadership, Fit to Lead, and Temporary Sanity"Today, life moves at hyperspeed. Hence, the age-old human skill of pattern recognition is more essential to our health and happiness than ever before in history. The Power of Impossible Thinking is a wonderful guide to help you understand the patterns you recognize and-critically-when those patterns serve you well, when they don't, and what you can do about it."Douglas K. SmithCo-author of The Wisdom of Teams and author of On Value and Values"I have been trying to explain why Japan has fallen into a pitfall and cannot come out of even the simplest problems. One can call it an innovators dilemma, but that does not solve the problem. This book suggests we have to go back to the basics of reviewing our underlying 'mental models' now and then, and only then, have to construct a new model, perhaps plural, and move onto exploring the new terrain."Kenichi OhmaeAuthor of the international bestseller, The Borderless World"Jerry Wind and Colin Crook have one of the most powerful messages there is about dealing with the present changing world. Perspectives are prisons, they say. The only way to thrive in the coming environment is to cultivate the ability to sense the new patterns and relationships as (and before) they emerge-otherwise you'll be locked in the past. This book can get you out of that jail."John L. PetersenPresident and founder of The Arlington Institute and author ofOut of the Blue: How to Anticipate Wild Cards and Other Big Surprises"The Power of Impossible Thinking is a health spa for the executive brain. Poor mental models can do more than ruin your reputation, your organization, or your team. How many times do we ignore market changes because of personal bias? Thanks to Wind and Crook we have a new vast insight into 'making sense' to help global leaders master the models needed for successful leadership behavior."Cathy L. Greenberg, Ph.DExecutive Director, Institute for Strategic Leadership,LeBow College of Business, Drexel University
