About this title

Synopsis

This volume takes readers beyond the usual goal-setting routines to discover new methods for succeeding in a changing world. It is an introduction to flextactics - a new programme for recognizing and achieving goals in business and life. Created for high-performance individuals who know their primary mission in life and are looking for efficient, effective ways of fulfilling that mission, these cutting-edge strategies - called flextactics - should put them on track towards achieving their goals, and help them remain flexible and focused no matter what obstacles, unforeseen circumstances, or setbacks might appear in their path. Flextactics are principles that remain valid no matter what circumstantial changes occur in the economy, but they are not hoary adages carved in stone. They are in-sync with the most recent discoveries in the theories of chaos and complexity that provide the best models for explaining the current business environment. In goal-setting, the old way was to set goals and pre-programme specific subgoals and priorities on a list, and check them off one-by-one as they are accomplished in an organized, stair-step approach. The 21st-century achiever, however, understands that there is a "sensitive dependence on initial conditions". Aware that chaos is always exerting an influence, he or she sets life-forming goals, with subgoals that can be adjusted to meet spur-of-the-moment changes, and rapidly shifting conditions. Multipurpose flexibility is built into all goals, plans and activities. This approach, which is the foundation of flextactics, determines how to fit every new circumstance or experience into life-forming goals. The book includes dozens of techniques, tips and strategies, plus a 21-day plan designed by Denis Waitley to teach flextactics in an easy step-by-step programme.
