In this time of constant change in the business world, author Nancy Kline argues that the most important thing that we can do is to “prize each other’s minds above all else”, and in this book, Kline presents an easy to follow, step-by-step guide that can help us do this in any situation.  The book provides useful hints on how to approach everyday business interactions, such as brainstorming, resolving arguments,  getting people to think for themselves, and leading with listening. The book offers a world of new possibilities that can lead to more productive meetings, solve difficult business problems, create cutting-edge strategies, and build stronger relationships between workers. By emphasizing the power of listening, Kline provides a great guide to instilling a work environment where everyone is encouraged to think freely, because, as Kline assumes, the quality of your work depends on the quality of what you are thinking, and what you are thinking depends on the quality of the attention you give to every situation. The enthusiasm that arises from free thought is infectious, and Kline does a great job of emphasizing this in her fascinating and ground-breaking book.
