"I think this book is great! It is well-written with emphasis on the importance of companies and their employees being open to learning." -- Salvatore R. Maddi, Professor of Psychology and Social Behavior, University of California

"This book is a nice summary of Maccobys work over several decades but also an additional value added where he adds concepts and tools." -- Berth Jönsson, Former HR VP of Volvo

"This integrates Maccobys personal experiences with the general/teachable lessons he derived from them. The two levels play off each other well and keep the book moving along briskly. The whole builds a multi - layered picture of organizations that fully use human capacity." -- Charles Heckscher, Professor of Labor Studies and Employment Relations, Rutgers University

"We live in a repeating context of unexpected happenings where the practice of strategic intelligence is always under constant demand.
