The seemingly intractable problems we face today, says author Marty Neumeier, are symptoms of a more basic problem—our inability to deal with interconnected, non-linear, amorphous challenges. It’s not that our problems are too difficult, but that our skills are too basic. Success in the post-industrial era asks that we move our thinking from the static, the linear, and the step-by-step to the dynamic, the holistic, and the creative. In this breathtaking vision of professional mastery, Neumeier presents five metaskills—feeling, seeing, dreaming, making, and learning—to help you reach your true potential in the creative workplace of the future.
