Synopsis
In this book, Kahane draws on his amazingly rich experience working with corporate, government and civil society leaders all over the world to explain why our ordinary way of solving problems―expert-driven, piecemeal, and best practice―cannot work for solving the complex problems we face
These problems include our communities and organizations, and why we need to learn an extra-ordinary way that is inclusive, systemic, and generative, and that demands of us, in essence, extraordinarily open talking and extraordinarily open listening.

SOLVING TOUGH PROBLEMS - AN OP
Seller: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Tough problems usually don't get solved peacefully. They either don't get solved at all - they get stuck - or they get solved by force. These frustrating and frightening outcomes occur all the time. Families replay the same argument over and over, or a parent lays down the law. Organizations keep returning to a familiar crisis, or a boss decrees a new strategy. Communities split over a controversial issue, or a politician dictates the answer. Countries negotiate to a stalemate, or they go to war. Either the people involved in a problem can't agree on what the solution is, or the people with power - authority, money, guns - impose their solution on everyone else.The way we talk and listen expresses our relationship with the world. When we fall into the trap of telling and of not listening, we close ourselves off from being changed by the world and we limit ourselves to being able to change the world only by force. But when we talk and listen with an open mind and an open heart and an open spirit, we bring forth our better selves and a better world. Seller Inventory # 00095655665
