| Summary: |
"The Journey of Not Knowing offers a new approach to one of the most elusive but essential leadership capabilities for the future: navigating the unknown. This book will inspire everyone who leads, whether it's a large corporation or small project team, to treat the scariness of the unknown as a source of opportunity rather than a deterrent to pursuing new ways to compete for customers, capital, and talent in the 21st Century. Written in an accessible, entertaining style, The Journey of Not Knowing allows its readers to confront their worst fears and discover what they need to know to overcome challenges in their business, coworkers, and themselves to achieve greater heights. The book tells the story of one business day in the lives of the leadership team at Arrow, Inc., a fictional company with characters very familiar to anyone who has worked in a business environment. To win a project with Porter, a new client critical to its bottom line, Arrow has to explain why a former client fired them. None of the Arrow leadership team knows the answer. Until Porter asked its question, each has managed to avoid the issue. To solve the mystery, every team member embarks on a journey of not knowing to push through many defensive and ineffective behaviors to win the business. The Journey principles, outlined at the end of the book, comprise the foundation of a leadership program that has been attended by executives from around the world over the last five years." -- Provided by publisher. |
