Business Unusual: Unleashing Creativity In Search Of Growth

Have you ever asked yourself, “Why didn’t I think of that?” - amazed by the obvious simplicity of a great idea.

In his book and keynote presentation, HOPE: HOW TRIUMPHANT LEADERS CREATE THE FUTURE (Jossey-Bass, June 2006), Andrew Razeghi isolates the critical factor that is a core element of successful leadership and business strategy in any climate. The book sheds new light on an ancient virtue by exploring why – in moments of uncertainty - some leaders succeed while others fail? Fundamentally, how do they make hope happen?

Using research from neuroscience and behavioral psychology, along with real world stories of CEOs, business start-ups, political leaders, groundbreaking scientists, and others, Razeghi shows that hope is a proven tool for competitive advantage.
