Recenzii
So many times organizations go to the outside to develop and refine their strategic plans when the answers lie internally. "Moments of Impact" gives you a roadmap to unlock solutions that are literally in the room. It provides powerful examples and a step by step guide to creating intense engagement and encourages diverse and unique points of view. This leads to a powerful shared vision and strategic plan coupled with a pragmatic execution plan. And, as a bonus, it is a great bonding experience for all involved.--George Borst, CEO of Toyota Financial Services
What if conversations at work actually mattered? "Moments of Impact "shows how they can, offering an actionable model for sparking creativity and driving change.--Adam Grant, Wharton professor and bestselling author of Give and Take
Conversations are how groups of people lear, collaborate and act together, but having powerful, coherent and strategic conversations takes active design and support.

Solomon and Ertel get it. We need to move beyond the blah blah blah dominating our meeting rooms today. We need strategic conversations - this book shows you how to design them.--Alexander Osterwalder, author of Business Model Generation and Business Model You

They say insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. I say that's also a pretty good definition of the typical business meeting.

Pink, author of To Sell is Human and Drive
