Critical Acclaim
‘In an era of rapid change and profound disruption, learning how to learn, learning how to ask the right questions and then how to methodically answer them, is the single most valuable skill and one that has been overlooked for too long. This book is an invaluable manual for those wanting to stay with a complex question until it’s solved (rather than just living with it) and a great piece of advocacy for why remaining curious and teachable is good for business.’
