The Fulcrum Advantage: Engaging Your Whole Self in Business and Life

“Today, the defining skills of the previous era — the ‘left-brain’ capabilities that powered the Information Age — are necessary but no longer sufficient. And the capabilities we once disdained or thought frivolous — the ‘right-brain’ qualities of inventiveness, empathy, joyfulness, and meaning — increasingly will determine who flourishes and who flounders. For individuals, families, and organizations, professional success and personal fulfillment now require a whole new mind.” – Daniel Pink, Author, A Whole New Mind: While Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future
