Resumen: Con demasiada frecuencia, los gerentes de hoy se venden las soluciones simples a problemas complejos. Mas a todos pronto descubrirá, la simplicidad es raramente efectiva frente a la complejidad, el cambio y la diversidad. A pesar de aparente promesa, panaceas de solución rápida fallan porque no son lo suficientemente holístico o creativo. Se centran en las partes de la organización en lugar de la totalidad, tienen poco en cuenta la interacción, y complacer a la noción de que hay una mejor solución en todas las circunstancias. Como ejemplos de tales escalate fracaso, gerentes inteligentes están buscando cada vez más para mejorar los resultados a través de los sistemas de pensamiento. Sea cual sea el escenario que usted está en en su estudio de los Sistemas de Pensamiento, este libro le ayudará. Si usted es nuevo en el campo, entonces servirá como una introducción sólida. Si está familiarizado con algunos conceptos, pero no con la forma en que se pueden vincular y utilizados por los administradores, a continuación, se le dará una mayor comprensión de cómo las ideas holístico desarrollado y cómo usarlos en la práctica. Y si usted es experto en algunos enfoques, pero no en otros, entonces será ampliar sus conocimientos y le proporciona más posibilidades de elección. En todos los casos usted va a lograr la competencia en el holismo creativo, salir en mejores condiciones para resolver problemas complejos, y en última instancia, convertirse en un sistemas más eficaces de pensamiento gerente.
