<b>"Holds your attention and makes you think. Effective tricks-of-the-trade for making decisions. Concise, accessible, and best of all, GRIPPING!"</b> - Amazon Reviewer Eric<br /><br /><b>"Really cool how the author wove together 1 single story and his strategic thinking advice and made an exciting cliffhanger, page turner out of it."</b> - Amazon Reviewer KWF<br /><br /><b>"A practical read that's equal parts pragmatic and entertainment. And it reads quickly. The author juxtaposes his sound academic wisdom with a short story that reads like a teaser to a spy thriller. Great insight from a guy you'd love to sit and have a beer with."</b> - Amazon Reviewer Jim<br /><br />There are a select few people who get things done. Spies are first among them. <br /><br />In a 45 minute read, a former spy introduces two simple tools for thinking. The first describes how we think. The second helps us think ahead. They are the essential tools for getting things done. <br /><br />The tools are applied to an incident in a subway car in Europe where a spy faces a new enemy. Then, they're reapplied to Saddam Hussein's stockpiling (or not) of weapons of mass destruction. <br /><br />John Braddock was a case officer at the CIA. He developed, recruited and handled sources on weapons proliferation, counter-terrorism and political-military issues. A former university research fellow, he is now a strategy consultant. He helps people and organizations think more effectively about their strategy, their customers and the competition.
