If that sounds a little too airy-fairy for you, don't be put off; this is no mere self-improvement book, with a wimpy mandate to transform its readers into "nicer" people. Instead, it's a collection of illustrations and advice that suggests a way to change your entire outlook on life and, in the process, open up a new realm of possibility. Consider, for example, the practice of "Giving an A," whether to yourself or to others. Not intended as a way to measure someone's performance against standards, this practice instead recognizes that "the player who looks least engaged may be the most committed member of the group," and speaks to their passion rather than their cynicism. It creates possibility in an interaction and does away with power disparities to unite a team in its efforts. Or consider "Being the Board," where instead of defining yourself as a playing piece, or even as the strategist, you see yourself as the framework for the entire game. In this scenario, assigning blame or gaining control becomes futile, while seeking to become an instrument for effective partnerships becomes possible.
Packed with such examples of personal and professional interactions, the book presents complex ideas on perception and recognition in a readable, useable style. The authors' combined, eclectic experience in music and painting (as well as family therapy and executive workshops) infuses their examples with vibrant color and sound. The relevance to corporate situations and relationships is well developed, and they don't rely on dry case studies to do it. Indeed, this book assumes the emotional intelligence and desire to engage of its reader, promising access to the rewards of that door-opening notion--possibility--in return. --S. Ketchum --Ce texte fait référence à l'édition Relié .

Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : The Art of Possibility: Transforming Professional and Personal Life (Broché)
The Art of Possibility répond à une question essentielle: l'homme peut-il s'accomplir dans son lieu de travail?
A travers des outils ingénieux développés par nos deux auteurs, on apprendra à s'effacer par rapport aux autres, à ne pas s'imposer comme leader mais à encourager les autres à s'affirmer. A retravailler sa place par rapport à l'évolution des éléments qui nous entourent. Un ouvrage qui sort du lot et qui montre qu'on a encore beaucoup à apprendre.
