Description

What do cardsharps, magicians and business executives have in common? Peole expect them to perform the impossible. The cardsharp is expected to laugh in the face of probability and orchestrate the winning hand. The illusionist is expected to defy the laws of nature and perform a magical effect...... Business executives too must strike the word "impossible" from their vocabularies to achieve success. Now, the impossible is really nothing more than a problem waiting to be solved. As a group, all these individuals are professional problem solvers...... When faced with a problem, Advantage Play executives do not wait for divine inspiration to provide them with a solution. They understand that technique - properly applied - allows them to create solutions on demand. (2001)
