Product Description
For the first time, David Benjamin and David Komlos of Syntegrity share their cutting-edge, highly engaging step-by-step formula for cracking incredibly knotty and important challenges in mere days, while mobilizing those who must execute.

Foreword by Marshall Goldsmith, #1 NY Times bestselling author, Thinkers50 - #1 Executive Coach and the only two-time #1 Leadership Thinker in the World


Complexity has met its match!
Today, organizations are grappling with ambiguity, volatility and paradox surrounding the challenges they face. This is complexity. But too many leaders approach complexity the wrong way - they push their people harder and harder and tackle problems one at a time over months, sometimes even years, and nearly always in a linear fashion. It's like setting a pot of water on "low" and waiting for it to boil. To solve the seemingly intractable challenges that leaders bang their heads against for months - to get the metaphorical water to boil - you must generate a high amount of heat very quickly.

In this book, the authors share their proven formula for dramatically shortening the process and solving an organization's toughest challenges in mere days.

Industry Reviews
"I'm a huge fan of elegant ways to 'construct really good questions, localizing the solvers, and putting people on a collision course;' just a few of the gems in this book. Kudos to Komlos and Benjamin. Well done!"--David Nour, best-selling author of Relationship Economics, Return on Impact and Co-Create
"Working with the Davids and using the techniques described in this book we transformed two of our businesses, one in Canada, the other in Europe, with outstanding results to our revenues and margins. Anyone addressing complex business issues will find this book of immense value."--Mark Jones, former Company President and CEO of AstraZeneca Canada; President AstraZeneca UK and Global Vice President Southern Europe
Cracking Complexity lights the path to clarity. It's not just a book, it's a toolbox, effective in simplifying the many complex aspects of life, not just business. So much so, I can hear myself think again."--Kristi Faulkner, President, Womenkind

The result is confident decision making that will take you and your organization to the next level."--Shep Hyken, New York Times bestselling author of The Amazement Revolution
