This new agenda for the managerial mind will change the way you think and do business.Eugene Sadler-Smith, a leading intuition researcher and educator in business and management, argues that human beings have one brain but two minds – analytical and intuitive. Management has overlooked the importance of intuition, and under-exploited the potential that the intuitive mind has to contribute in areas as diverse as decision making, creativity, team working, entrepreneurship, business ethics and leadership.
“The Intuitive Mind is a fascinating and practical book that will maximize your intuition and help you make better decisions today and predictions about tomorrow! Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung would most assuredly approve.”

Synopsis
SHORTLISTED FOR CMI MANAGEMENT BOOK OF THE YEAR 2010 - PRACTICAL MANAGER CATEGORY
Understand and harness the power of your intuition.
'The Intuitive Mind' explores the concept of intuition, both how it works and how to nurture it. Commonly referred to as the "sixth sense," almost everyone has experienced it. This book asks readers to consider intuition from a scientific standpoint and, rather than dismiss it as superstition, incorporate it into our daily lives. In particular, the book argues that business leaders and managers have much to gain by getting in touch with their intuitive sense and using it to be better leaders. Under certain conditions, rational analysis of a situation fails. In those situations, 'The Intuitive Mind' argues that we should all learn to bet on our hunches.
Eugene Sadler-Smith (Surrey, UK) is Professor of Management Development and Organizational Behavior in the School of Management at the University of Surrey.
