Tilt!: Irreverent Lessons for Leading Innovation in the New Economy

Named a management general top ten business book of 1999.
The most successful companies and workers in the emerging economic order are those who understand that most of the old rules of running a business no longer apply. You can't solve today's problems with yesterday's tools. New times call for new thinking. Louis Patler, co-author of the New York Times bestseller If it ain't broke... Break It! and originator of Break-It(r)Thinking, now creates a whole new attitude and perspective for business. Revisiting the old principles of quality and even speed, Patler replaces them with values, beliefs and a new "Thoughtware" for tomorrow's business leaders. Tilt! offers a wealth of inspiring stories, anecdotes, lessons and tools drawn from today's most successful companies (including Boeing, British Airways, Xerox, Daimler-Benz, Intel, Motorola and Toyota) and individuals, all told in Patler's inimitable, accessible, quick-fire style. "If there were an established ratio in the publishing world of 'ideas-per-pages,' Patler's new book would set a record. Using a writing style that is delightfully conversational, Patler recounts story-after-story about people in the business world. To each story, however, there are critical lessons which he extracts, highlights, and emphasizes. The result is a one-man, one-book creativity seminar of the first order. Your attitude, perspective, and leadership goals will be shaken awake by Patler, and you'll find the pace of his book so invigorating, you cannot go back to sleep!" Tom Brown, President, Management General "Patler's new book is a complete bust! It will smash any lingering thoughts you may have about business-as-usual or leadership as we once conceived it. A persuasive job of jarring us into thinking in radically new ways to invent the future." Perry Pascarella Leadership author and speaker
