The Opposable Mind: How Succesful Leaders Win Through Integrative Thinking

By Roger Martin

"In this insightful 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...Drawing on stories of leaders as diverse as A. G. Lafley of Procter & Gamble and Bob Young of Red Hat Software, Martin shows how, by refusing to accept unpleasant trade-offs and conventional options, integrative thinkers are able to find creative solutions to seemingly intractable problems."
