504 0 0 |a In this insighful book, Roger Martin shows that brilliant leaders are skilled at integrative thinking - the ability to hold two opposing ideas in their minds at once, and then reach a synthesis that contains elements of both but improves on each.But is integrative thinking a talent reserved for a fortunate few? Not at all: Martin believes it is a "habit of thought" that all of us can consciously develop to arrive at solutions that would otherwise not be evident.We can train ourselves to craft innovative solutions and to resist settling for the best available bad choice.This book shows us the way.
