Managers and magicians share a common need to perform the
impossible by solving problems. David Ben, former tax lawyer,
world-class magician, and corporate keynote speaker, writes from
his unique perspective to teach managers to become advantage
players, winners who solve problems.
Ben provides chapters on the mechanics of problem solving,
creativity techniques, technology ('Technology is not magic.
Technology is a tool that one uses to achieve a magical effect.'),
sales, teamwork, human psychology (how psychics know you too well),
and mastery. The content is fascinating and enlightening.
The fluid writing style caused me to fly along and then suddenly
realize that something profound was on a previous page which I
really had to re-visit. Fortunately, there are Advantage Play
Summaries at the end of each chapter.
This delightful and innovative volume should be read by anyone who
wishes to master creative problem solving. 'Success comes to people
who can solve problems.'
