Description

Reflecting the dramatic rise in interest in management intuition over the past decade, the contributors to this volume describe how some of the best run companies nurture the use and development of intuitive skills, having found that the use of intuition in leadership and management decision-making is often preferable to traditional analytical techniques. They explain what intuition is, how it can be used to increase productivity and how managers can strengthen their personal intuitive skills.
