This book was written by researchers of human behavior and classifies thinking into five practical categories. But more importantly, it investigates the best strategies for approaching different situations and people, leading to the achievement of goals and the avoidance of errors. In our work with executives over the years the understanding of how one’s thinking pattern works has been one of the most useful insights that make a difference for individuals in their work with others.
