The Opposable Mind: How Successful Leaders Win through Integrative Thinking
Roger Martin
Harvard Business School Press
ISBN: 9781422118924 Hardcover (November 2007)
 
Martin, dean of the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, argues that instead of focusing on what exceptional leaders do, we need to understand and emulate how they think. Successful businesspeople engage in what he calls integrative thinking – creatively resolving the tension in opposing models by forming entirely new and superior ones. Drawing on stories of leaders from companies as diverse as Procter & Gamble, eBay, The Institute for One World Health, and Infosys, Martin shows how integrative thinkers are relentlessly diagnosing and synthesizing by asking probing questions – including “What are the causal relationships at work here?” and “What are the implied trade-offs?”
