Want to make a lasting impact? Waddington's book will get you there. Forget the lure of quick fixes and best practices that were designed for someone else.

Waddington combines ancient and contemporary theories of thinking, management, and innovation with practical examples of real life situations. A must read for anyone who wants their decisions to have purpose and impact.
