Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
The nine paradoxes are all about being a success – both in business and personal life areas. The paradoxes describe the future in the terminology of the present tense – illustrating that how a person or organization reacts to the challenges of the present will have a large part in shaping the possibilities available in the future.
Specifically, the future is constantly being rewritten by the events of today. Savvy people and smart organizations recognize that and use it to their advantage to create a future environment of success in an era of turbulence and uncertainty. By managing the contradictions of the present, they are then well positioned and prepared for whatever does ultimately come.
Visionaries may not be able to accurately forecast precisely what the future holds, but the techniques used by visionaries will enable any person or any organization to write their own story. The answers to the paradoxes provide the tools that will enable anyone to become what they want to be.
