The impetus to write this book was driven by a distinct gap in the business literature landscape and the pressing need for a new approach to problem-solving. Traditional business books often present a romanticized, linear journey to success, but this perspective is far from the reality of the business world. The truth is that business success is not achieved by following a rigid set of rules or steps. The key to thriving in the complex business environment is not formulaic but rather requires a shift in mindset, a new way of thinking, and perceiving problems.
