Synopsis: Are you dangerously normal? Most of the world's catastrophes don't come from mistakes. Wars, NASA space tragedies, global economic meltdowns all have one thing in common - they are caused by normal thinking. "Quicksilver" shows that humanity now suffers from a learning disorder that threatens our future. As a result, leaders must develop a shape-shifting ability to continuously adjust themselves and their organizations to quicksilver conditions. The book looks at the failed leadership behind the 2008 economic crisis from the perspective of the fast-changing digital world, which has outpaced habits of mind. It focuses on cognitive psychology and proposes a set of practices aimed at coping with problems of the digital age. We are all leaders. "Quicksilver" will teach you how to inoculate yourself against self-defeating, normal thinking, and systematically neutralize fear, which comes in many guises. Be a leader with the personal courage and integrity that people will want to follow.
