Howard Gardner's classic book Multiple Intelligences exploded the myth that intelligence can be measured along a single dimension. Now Lynne Levesque shows that creativity, like intelligences, exists in a variety of forms, and demonstrates that high-performance organizations need to make use of creativity in all its dimensions. It takes more than just "thinking outside the box" to build a flexible, adaptive organization that will survive competitive battles, grow and prosper, and provide the environment that attracts and keeps the best talent. On the basis of her research in personality, innovation and creativity, as well as her experience helping top executives achieve their full potential, Levesque describes eight distinct creative talents. People of each talent have a unique way of looking at challenges, collecting data and generating creative solutions. Breakthrough Creativity describes in individual chapters how each talent works, how each contributes to the creative process and how each can improve decision making, team building and strategic planning and thinking. Breakthrough Creativity brings to life the stories and rich experiences of working individuals around the world to help readers discover their own creative talents and use them to further their professional and personal lives.

Sick of Powders and Potions? Want a Better Way? Do you want a quick and easy way to enhance your sports performance without drugs or steroids? What if the solution to superior performance could be found right in the supermarket? Most sports supplements are expensive, if not hard to find or hard to take. You work out hard enough as it is. It’s time your supplements work just as hard as you do. But there’s no need to choke down any more pills or chalky powders. There’s an easier and tastier solution. It just so happens to be the secret of Olympic-caliber hockey players, cyclists, and runners, too. No Need to Sacrifice Health for Performance What if you could enhance your performance and clean out your liver at the same time? Common substances like alcohol, caffeine, and environmental pollution can all slow down your body’s natural detoxification pathways, leading to fatigue. For athletes like you, fatigue means decreased performance, slower recovery time, and more time on the proverbial (or actual) bench. What if, in addition to cleaning out your liver, you could cancel out the free radicals that are swimming around in your system? Free radicals are constantly being produced during exercise, but clearing them out leads to faster recovery times and better health overall. The Solution You’ve Been Waiting For So what is this mystery performance-enhancing supplement that’s easy to take and easy to find? Beets! That’s right, the vegetable. Beets contain potent antioxidants to eradicate free radicals and vasodilators to increase oxygenation to muscles. They have also been known for centuries to be liver detoxifiers. Beets and Sport Performance is the go-to guide for learning everything you would want to know about this invaluable veggie. With this book, you’ll learn the why, the how, and even get some recipes so you can start using beets to your advantage today.
