I strongly recommend reading the author's works, starting with 'Your Dolphin High Performance Busine

Your High-Performance Business Brain: An Operator's Manual by Dudley Lynch This is my first book from Dudley Lynch, creator of the Dolphin Strategy, as it has come to be known throughout the international business world. I read it during the mid-80's while I was working as an expatriate in Thailand. I must admit that it was not easy to read the first time & I found it worthwhile to read it a few times. I believe this was the precursor to the author's classic, 'Strategy of the Dolphin', published in the late 80's. It was during this period of time that I got very interested in self-growth, particularly, in the field of brain-based, future-focused, change-oriented strategies. In a nutshell, this book documented the author's early explorations into the changing nature of human thinking & technologies, particularly in ways that relate to the business enterprise. I like the author's disciplined & yet artful blending of cognitive sciences, psychology, physics, sociology, & business strategy in his writings. As a whole, there were two important things I had picked up or learned from this Business Brain book: - how brain sciences could apply to management & business practices; - an introduction to Dr. Clare Graves & his Gravesian conceptual model of how the people work within the worlds of society, culture and technology; In fact, this book also led me to the author's proprietary navigational tool called the BrainMap. Through self-assessment, the tool gave me a precise reading of how my brain created my world & effective contol over my personal & organisational thinking skills. In essence, guided by my BrainMap, I could change my results just by changing how I thought! In some way, this book also facilitated my personal access to & smoother understanding of many of the author's subsequent works, including the 'Strategy of the Dolphin' with thirty over self-discovery principles) & 'Code of the Monarch: An Inside Guide' (a gamut of survival tools to deal with complexity, speed, expanded time & space, & to achieve competency, elegant outcomes, efficient results & an authentic global outlook). Today, I own the entire collection of the author's 'DolphinThink' resources (incuding the author's latest book, 'Mother of All Minds') & I often return to them to seek out furter insights. [For the uninitiated: in 'Strategy of the Dolphin', the author specifically divides business strategy into three competing paradigms: that of Sharks, that of Dolphins, and that of the Carp. Wikipedia has a nice summary of the author's analogy.] On hindsight, I realised that many of the author's provocative ideas were far ahead of the mass market business reading material. His many books had been deliberately written to cater to serious future-focused managers & professionals, who are seeking sustainable change & thinking upgrade. Sadly, this Business Brain book is now out-of-print, but good news to readers, the author has revamped this book
