The Art of Global Thinking shows you how to increase organizational performance by incorporating essential concepts from different cultures into your staff's daily routines. By linking the ancient past with the present and the East with the West, Donald Cyr relates the inner workings of businesses around the world with the tasks you perform every day.
This practical guide also explains how instinct and logic balance each other in business. An awareness of your feelings, of your fears, of your desires, and what evokes them allows you to better manage them and consequently, better manage your business. By combining both Eastern and Western values and by understanding the connection between your rational and your instinctual thoughts, you can become a more effective member of any community.
The Art of Global Thinking draws from the insight of mythology, philosophy, religion, and ancient writing, and fuses modern research, cultural differences, and business know-how to teach you how to gain from others' worldview. It looks at Eastern and Western values not as different, but as complementary and shows how each serves to define and enhance the other. By comparing both cultures, Cyr explores the advantages and limitations of basic social and business ideas in Asia and North America.
The Art of Global Thinking shows how different cultural views give you greater insight into other ways of doing business. It also helps you to understand your own cultural values and their influence on why you think the way you do. The book takes an innovative approach to link the “Individual Self” from the West and the "Civic Self" from the East to the emotional intelligence, leadership style, and corporate performance. In doing so, The Art of Global Thinking links our two contrasting but complementary capabilities for logic and intuition, individualism and collectivism, and distinctiveness and harmony.
