Rotman School Dean Discusses Successful Leadership in Mumbai and Bangalore
TORONTO, Nov. 3 PRNewswire-AsiaNet -
In his recent best-selling book, Prof. Roger Martin, Dean of the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, took a practitioners' look at how great leaders succeed in the worlds of business, the arts and social sectors.
This month Prof. Martin will discuss the findings from: The Opposable Mind: How Successful Leaders Win Through Integrative Thinking (Harvard Business Press, 2007) during presentations in Mumbai and Bangalore.
The presentations will focus on the problem-solving power of "Integrative Thinking".
Prof. Martin will draw on more than 50 management success stories from his book including the masterminds behind Four Seasons Hotels, Procter & Gamble, Infosys, eBay and ICICI Bank, to demonstrate how, like the opposable thumb, the "opposable mind" - Prof. Martin's term for the human brain's ability "to hold two conflicting ideas in constructive tension" - is an intellectually advantageous evolutionary leap through which decision-makers can synthesize new and superior ideas.
