About the Book: Emphasizing flexible, counterintuitive decision making, Flip calls for a new way of doing business in an economy where conventional wisdom won’t get you anywhere. “Business today requires new perspectives,” says Peter Sheahan, one of the youngest and fastest-rising stars on the international consulting and speaking circuit, begins this essential guidebook for succeeding in the 21st century.
In Flip, he reveals how the world’s most effective organizations and individuals distinguish themselves from the competition, instead of running with the pack. Sheahan uncovers what the superstars of modern business have in common: an ability to “flip” — to think counterintuitively and then act boldly, with no regard for “business as usual” conventions.
