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 clearly explains how to understand the true nature of your problem and, more importantly, how to systemically think through a solution that will have lasting impact. 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.

Tad Waddington has pulled together the great thoughts from the great thinkers who worried about why we are here, what we are supposed to be doing, and how best to get on with it. These are big, tough questions but they are tackled, in an amazingly compact and thought-provoking way, so that everyone can arrive at their own answers. Waddington has a special gift that allows you to see his thoughts clearly at work—yet he provides plenty of space for you to compare your ideas with history's best. Highly recommended for anyone looking for answers to life's most intriguing questions, brought to you by a uniquely talented guide, in a book you won’t be able to put down. Should be required reading for every senior executive everywhere in the world.
