Strategic Intuition
The Creative Spark in Human Achievement
"Brain science tells us there are three kids of intuition: ordinary, expert, and strategic. Ordinary intuition is just a feeling, a gut instinct. Expert intuition is snap judgements, when you instantly recognize something familiar, the way a tennis pro knows where the ball will go from the arc and speed of the opponent's racket. The third kind, strategic intuition, is not a vague feeling, like ordinary intuition. Strategic intuition is a clear thought. And it's not fast, like expert intuition, it's slow. That flash of insight you had last night might solve a problem that's been on your mind for a month. And it doesn't happen in familiar situations, like a tennis match. Strategic intuition works in new situations. That's when you need it most." "Everyone knows you need creative thinking, or entrepreneurial thinking, or innovative thinking, or strategic thinking, to succeed in the modern world. All these kinds of thinking happen through flashes of insight - strategic intuitions. And now that we know how it works, you can learn to do it better. That's what this book is about."--BOOK JACKET.
