The Power of Surprise – The Key to Personal & Business Breakthroughs

Most leaders want business breakthroughs, but many struggle with the elusive and “messy” process required for creating them.  Why?  Because we’re taught that uncertainty – and especially surprises – should be avoided at all costs.  Certainty and predictability are good.  Uncertainty, ambiguity and surprises are bad.  But there’s a big disconnect.  In reality, the unexpected is one of the most powerful sources of breakthroughs for people and organizations.  Soren Kaplan reveals why today’s leaders need to do exactly what they’re taught to avoid:  embrace surprise—the key to breakthrough innovation.  Today’s leaders must learn to seek out, recognize and respond to surprising experiences and events in order to create game-changers that leapfrog the expectations of customers, partners, employees, the market, and the competition.

Gourmet dinner and wine are included!
