Book Cover & Preview Text
As Americans, we live and work in a new century that will demand ultra-smart leaders - - those who securely posses both the capacity and the skillfulness needed to come to grips with exponentially accelerating and unpredictable changes in complex, often chaotic business and political environments. These brilliant leaders should know how to get the most out of emergent trends, resolve seemingly intracable contradictions, discern insight from perplexity and design futures through decisiveness, direction, and speed for their organizations as well as for themselves. They should be "wired in" to the idea spaces of our uncertain times and with nimbleness, connectivity, and inventiveness they should come up with new ideas rather than hoping they fortuitously arrive. BRIGJHT to the Fourth Power was formulated from a number of years of executive development consulting and mind-brain, neuroscience research on three continents. Over time, the authors were able to privileged to develop ordinary thinking leaders into bright thinking executives who clearly knew what to do because they had developed the spatial capacity to do so. In truth, these brilliant leaders welcomed complexity or challenging problems because they they came to believe through more capacity to think that their better insights would wisely be dealt with from the crush of opposing views. The book brilliantly develops five dimension of thinking brilliantly how the reader might tap into the tools and practices to especially develop greater visual-spatial giftedness.

About the Book
Life is about how much we think. Thinking is about how much mental capacity we possess. Capacity, in addition to our abilities and conscientiousness, is about how much we can process combinations of verbal height, quantitative width, and spatial depth with decisiveness, direction, and speed.
No matter where we go or what we do as executives, we take our thinking with us. That may spoil everything, because, to a great extent, we do and accomplish what we think about. Our thoughts mold our aspirations, attitudes and accomplishments during our life. In other words, our careers and lives are influenced more by the power of our thoughts than anything else. The bad news is that most of us never fully use our mental capacities and never achieve our potential. The good news is that neural technologies are now available to transform our thinking into the higher realms of brilliance.
Developing the spatial capacity to think higher, wider, and deeper means breaking away from the effects of years of flat thinking or educational backgrounds that stifles creative/innovative potential. Expand your mental agility through a development of higher-order processes and discover a whole new world mentally in Executive Thinking.
