Thinking Outside The Box

 

 

 

This interactive programme encourages you to think rationally and creatively, beyond conventional constraints. The frog under the coconut shell is isolated from the greater world outside the shell. A manager who is anchored to a fixed set of thinking patterns is similarly handicapped. A manager needs strategies and skills to expand his/her thinking so as to tap thinking to the fullest potential. Instead of being plateaued, thinking can gain a fresh boost of mental zest. Sometimes, to unlearn bad habits can be harder than to learn good habits. This programme seeks to ease managers into new thinking paths so that their thinking is not “boxed inside”.
