Facilitating Genius: Illuminating Brilliance in Your Organization by John Lesko goes beyond merely asking, "What would _____ do?" and builds on proven, problem-solving techniques that allow the reader to think like a genius. How so? Readers are encouraged to identify the type of 'smarts' they possess based on the theory of multiple intelligences. Representative genius, high-achievers - at least 3 for each type of 'smarts' - become consultants who share their genius ways of looking at and solving the reader's problem at hand.
This 190-page book is well illustrated. It has quotes and prompts embedded into each of the 25 sample stories of extraordinary, genius achievement. As an added bonus, there are 17 worksheets provided for the reader to use either individually or in small groups when working on a "wicked problem" which may be vexing his or her organization.
"Genius is less a description than a destination we can reach. ... Businesses, non-profits, military units and even - perhaps especially - volunteer groups should explore the precious gems one can extract here. Given its conversational style, this would make an excellent choice for group reading, a professional development program or even an academic class on leadership," says Harry Colin, reviewing under the name, Rodrigo Diaz of Bivar.
