How to Think like Leonardo da Vinci - Michael J. Gelb

Gelb argues persuasively that, therefore, it is appropriate to look to Da Vinci for hints and clues on how to manage change creatively and productively. He guides the reader through Da Vinci's philosophy on life and work, from Curiosita (The Quest for Continuous Learning), to, amongst others, Sfumato (Be Comfortable With Ambiguity) and Dimostrazione (Test Knowledge through Practical Experience). Gelb takes each idea and explains how to implement them into your business life: for example, set a theme for a day, contemplate and write about that theme to come up with goals. Incorporate the phrase "What if....?" into your business strategy. This book shows compellingly that the combination of logical thought and creativity can be extremely powerful.
