How Leaders Learn to Boost Creativity in Teams
“A book that is both engaging and inspiring! Reading through the common pitfalls and mistakes to avoid, I started to realise why some of the workouts failed to achieve their intended goals. This book is a must read for those who need creativity and innovation to meet their everyday challenge.”
Bo Hu, Product Quality Director, Greater China, GE Healthcare
Pieces of Us
“A beautifully crafted tribute to people, relationships, time and place. Set within an historic, social, economic and political context ‘Pieces of Us’ is an intelligent and at times deeply moving celebration of the power of human storytelling and the central importance of belonging, connectedness and community. This is a must read for anyone interested in the power of social capital and asset based approaches to mental health and wellbeing.”
Dr Rhiannon Cobner, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Child and Family Community Psychology
Innovation Leadership in Practice
“While not all of us need to become leaders of innovation – leading and driving highly innovative projects forward, I certainly believe that many more of us need to become leaders for innovation: understanding ourselves and our attitude towards innovation and being truly appreciative of diversity. Innovation Leadership in Practice makes a great contribution to what this might look and feel like, at all different levels: individual, team, organisation and ecosystem.”
Bettina Von Stamm, book foreword
