About The Book

Not just for the international or global decision maker but for the local "mom-and-pop" operator, too. Understand how you can take the best of the world's best and incorporate it into your daily operations, products and services, and strategic thinking to make the kinds of decisions that separate the extraordinary leaders from their ordinary counterparts. Also learn how to extrapolate from what you read in the papers and see on the news and recognize threats and opportunities that will impact your organization both in the present and in years to come.
