Developing Connective Leadership
"If our best thinking comes by making connections and building patterns, then what would these patterns look like, and what might they be based on?"--Ask the authors. Most importantly, how could they be used? Developing Connective Leadership shows you how Thinking Maps[R] are an efficient and eloquent language that can be used to explore and reveal ideas, thought processes, and intentions.
