A different way of discovering and developing the best
business ideas
Jack Welch once said, "Someone, somewhere has a better idea." In
this myth-busting book, the authors reveal that great business
ideas do not spring from innate creativity, or necessarily from the
brilliant minds of people. Rather, great ideas come to those who
are in the habit of looking for great ideas all around them, all
the time. Too often, people fall into the trap of thinking that the
only worthwhile idea is a thoroughly original one. Idea Hunters
know better. They understand that valuable ideas are already out
there, waiting to be found - and not just in the usual
places.
? Shows how to expand your capacity to find and develop winning
business ideas
? Explains why ideas are a critical asset for every manager and
professional, not just for those who do "creative"
? Reveals how to seek out and select the ideas that best serve
your purposes and goals and define who you are, as a
professional
? Offers practical tips on how to master the everyday habits of
an Idea Hunter, which include cultivating great conversations
The book is filled with illustrative accounts of successful Idea
Hunters and stories from thriving "idea" companies. Warren Buffet,
Walt Disney, Thomas Edison, Mary Kay Ash, Twitter, and Pixar
Animation Studios are among the many profiled.
