Publisher's Summary

In his instant self-help classic, the international best seller How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci, Michael J. Gelb identified seven aspects of da Vinci's genius that contemporary readers can emulate and apply in their own lives. Now, in Work Like da Vinci, Gelb adapts these principles to the specific demands of the workplace, sharing the innovative solutions to contemporary corporate and career challenges that have kept him in constant demand as a top-tier speaker and consultant to Fortune 500 clients.

In Gelb's expert perspective, da Vinci's genius can be distilled into seven principles for the business listener:

  • Ask the right questions (Curiosita)
  • Put your answers to work (Dimostrazione)
  • Develop your business senses (Sensazione)
  • Turn uncertainty into opportunity (Sfumato)
  • Strike a profitable balance (Arte/Scienza)
  • Integrate for success (Corporalita)
  • Make the break-through connection (Connessione)

    These principles will help you tackle such timeless business challenges as: leadership; innovation; teamwork; strategic planning; decision-making; managing change and uncertainty; giving powerful presentations; giving and receiving feedback; and more.

    Can't get enough of Leonardo's legacy? Check out our store devoted to all things Da Vinci.

    A very engaging and interesting listen. Wished it kept going. Sparked my interest in mindmapping and innovations by the great one. Not meant to be a history of Da Vinci - this regards his mental tactics and how you can use his methods of thinking.

    This is a great book. Very interesting content and Michael Gelb's charisma come through in his reading. Of course, this book doesn't go into the life and times of Da Vinci. That's not the promise of the book. Its promise is insight into the seven key principles that Da Vinci lived by. And it delivers on the promise. Good production quality, great content, lively reading. Buy it.

    By: Peter (Woolooware, Australia)

    I was very disappointed in this book. There isn't much discussion of da Vinci, his life, or his deeds. Much of the first hour of the book is spent doing memory exercises. Treat this book more like a simple mind skills workshop covering material that has been covered exhaustively elsewhere. Don't expect to get much insight into da Vinci.

    Great enthusiasm and passion for Da Vinci's ideas and principles in this audio. Gelb is infectious and I wholeheartedly recommend this audio together with Gelb's book 'How to think like Leaonardo Da Vinci'. Through the audio and books we can access more of our innate genius.
