Recommendation

John O'Keeffe’s book is worth a read for the simple but powerful message that it conveys: Too many people in business today are devoted to incremental improvement when they should be striving for big goals and breakthrough performance. Also of note are the techniques that he describes for cultivating creative thinking within a business. While much of the remainder will seem like a re-hash of basic problem-solving and common-sense creative thinking methodology, getAbstract.com nevertheless recommends this book for its motivational message: Think big.

Take-Aways

  • An incrementalist mindset creates self-imposed limitations on performance.
  • Overcome these limitations by seeking breakthrough performance instead of incremental improvement.
  • Set big goals that you will achieve through step-changes that bypass gradual change.
