Product Description:

Over fifty percent of all business decisions fail; eighty-two percent of businesses go under before their tenth anniversary and eight out of ten new products fail. In direct contrast, research also shows that ninety-one percent of all businesspeople are as confident as ever in making decisions. Decision confidence is up. Success is down. While we are an inventive, entrepreneurial society, an innovation explosion has also been marked by business implosion.

To improve the odds for success, the authors of businessThink deliver a revolutionary new method that bridges the monumental gap between the results businesspeople want and the failure they often get. The rules of businessThink provide tomorrow's leaders with the ability to create effective solutions and take themselves and their companies into the zone of optimum performance. businessThink transforms "workers" into businesspeople with provocative, powerful new rules that will help you:

* Make winning strategic business decisions
* Have colleagues trust your judgment and leadership
* Leverage and utilize your talents
* Become highly influential and relevant
* Create business value

With rules like "Check Your Ego at the Door," "Move Off the Solution," "Create Curiosity," and "Get Evidence," businessThink goes where other business books are afraid to go and promises to significantly increase results by delivering hard-core business thinking and fusing it with high intuition and emotional intelligence to get it right -- no matter what!


Amazon.com Review:

Businesses will only achieve their true potential, according to Dave Marcum, Steve Smith, and Mahan Khalsa, when the people that run them learn to "think business." In businessThink, the authors, all corporate veterans now with the FranklinCovey leadership development organization, propose eight rules that create a framework for cultivating this different thought process. "Most people are just going through the motions of doing (not thinking) business--merely practicing their comfortable old routines," they write. "Others, the really successful ones, are getting killer results through changing their thinking to become more disciplined, rigorous, creative, and sound." Applicable to any position, from staffer to senior executive, the principles are: check your ego at the door (to develop an open, united atmosphere); create curiosity (to uncover new options); move off the solution (to clarify the issue); get evidence (to clarify the problem); calculate the impact (to weigh investment against return); explore the ripple effect (to view the big picture); slow down for yellow lights (to watch for obstacles); and discover the cause (to understand underlying truths). Each element is fleshed out in one or more chapters that showcase them in identifiable, real-world situations. The combination adds up to a logical, feasible program that virtually everyone can follow. --Howard Rothman


Summary: How to get things done!
Rating: 5

I loved this book. As a manager in a large company I've found that it can be difficult to deal with all of the politics, games, and ego's that are part of my daily routine. Business Think provides a methodology for dealing with all of the bull that goes on in business. It also gave me a good outline to make better decisions and be able to determine the things that I should be doing from those things that I could be doing.


Summary: Finally, a book for the real world!
Rating: 5

This is one of the rare business books that isn't chuck full of useless theory or excessive amounts of research with no application. This book provides real skills and a real business tool for objective thinking. I now understand how to build a logical buisness case for or against a presented solution, rather than the typical impulsive projects that are typically based off of bias, ego, opinion, or gut feel. The emphasis on ego is invaluable. Ego costs companies millions of dollars every day, primarily because everyone's in denial that it exist. Thank you businessThink for finally bring a book to the table that is insync with business realities.
