Pioneers

I had the oppotunity to see a video on Paradigms. I bought this book as I have work colleagues who wil not move.(their way is best) I read the book thouroughly and enjoyed it very much and will pass it onto my colleagues.
Having read the book I am convinced I am a pioneer who cannot get past the settlers. If you want to improve, read it.

Very good book on "mental models"

This is a good book for many reasons.

It really challenges our conventional ways of thinking. I found it quite enjoyable. There are many great paradigm examples given: the swiss watchmakers losing marketshare, long distance runners overcoming the 26 mile barrier.

This book allows the reader to identify paradigms and through that understanding spot them as they are occurring. This understanding is most valuable in business and life.

A great read, highly recommended.
