    The Visionary's Handbook

     
    3/14/2000
    "Managing the paradoxes that manage you" is the thrust of this practical guide for cutting-edge leaders who want to foresee and determine the future of their businesses. Filled with expert commentary as well as handy tests to evaluate your own visionary skills, The Visionary's Handbook considers what the authors pinpoint as the nine key contradictions of doing business. Among these are The Paradox of Size ("The bigger you are, the smaller you need to be."); The Paradox of the Visionary ("The closer your vision gets to a provable truth, the more you are simply describing the present."); and The Paradox of Action ("You've got to go for what you can't expect to get. You must act intuitively and be equally ready to take resolute counter-intuitive action.")
