The book offers a radical, refreshing, innovative, provocative, and generative perspective on conflict solution whether in an organization or government. It also offers an entirely new set of terms and concepts to access, utilize, and share unconscious creativity. Almost all the top-down organizational assumptions in government and business stifle creativity rather than facilitate it. The book offers a multitude of practical improvements that will alter our understanding of vision and creativity.
