RECOMMENDED READING
Ten Steps Ahead: What Separates Successful Business Visionaries
from the Rest of Us
By Erik Calonius
 |
|
As 2010 draws to a close and you’re busy envisioning the future of your organization, remember to schedule in time to sharpen your own pencil; to work on developing your own visionary perspective. Though it’s not due for release until March 2011, it appears that Erik Calonius’ new book,
Ten Steps Ahead: What Separates Successful Business Visionaries from the Rest of Us is positioned to help you do just that.
Sources say his newest title draws on the behavioral research Calonius conducted and co-published with Dan Ariely
(Predictably Irrational), as well as the elements of intuition, emotional intelligence and courage to help us understand how well-known visionaries did what they did to change the world or, at least, to drastically change their industry landscape.
Among others, Calonius interviewed, and/or analyzed visionaries Steven Jobs, Founder and CEO of Apple; Richard Branson, mastermind behind the Virgin brand including Virgin Records, Virgin Atlantic Airlines and Virgin Galactic (a company poised to dominate the consumer space flight industry in the not-so-distant future); Jeff Hawkins, the inventor of the first Palm Pilot; Walt Disney (we all know who he is); and the Wright brothers (first in flight) as well as some perhaps lesser known visionaries who were no less visionary in their fields such as Richard Feynman, Nobel Prize winner for Physics, co-developer of the atomic bomb and the scientist credited with pioneering the field of quantum computing and the concept of nanotechnology.
Through this fascinating collection about people whose vision and actions won them great success in their respective fields—specifically drawing out and recognizing the out-of-the-box thinking and processes each used to incubate their big ideas—Calonius suggests that any of us can envision a different future. Opportunities abound and nurturing the ability to recognize them and take action—a.k.a. having vision—are skills that can we can all nurture.
Mark March 17, 2011, on your calendars and pick up a copy of
Ten Steps Ahead: What Separates Successful Business Visionaries from the Rest of Us to see how you can develop your visionary perspective.
