The Collective Intelligence Book
How to build a business that’s smarter than you.
“An essential guide to help leaders tap their organisation’s full potential.”
~ Daniel H Pink. #1 New York Times bestselling author
What’s the book about?
Enduringly successful companies don’t rely on a genius CEO. They build collective intelligence, systematically empowering everyone to use their brains and apply them to the things that matter most.
The iPhone wasn’t the brainchild of Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet didn’t want to bet on Apple, and Amazon Prime wasn’t Jeff Bezos’ idea. Each of these breakthroughs was sparked by an employee who’d been given the tools, skills and confidence to ask the right questions.
Every company has a vast reservoir of brainpower and it’s your role as a leader to tap into it. In the book we’ll show you how.
