Synopsis

A leading consultant, speaker and strategist examines the parallels between business and golf, and explains how the same learning techniques can dramatically improve your skills in both. For the first time, a business manager and consultant has formally drawn the metaphor that anyone who has ever hit the links knows: that business is like a game of golf. In golf, a player can't just hit and hope - he or she must think ahead continuously, contemplate multiple scenarios and consider the downside of every decision. Yet, as every player also knows, there is a huge, largely unacknowledged difference between knowing what to do in a given situation and knowing how to do it. Both on the green and in the office, it is this constant obstacle which keeps people from achieving their goals and solving their problems. By examining golfer's and managers' struggle for improvement, David Hurst shows us why complex systems are so hard to change, and how to set about changing them, systematically. Using the latest thinking from fields and anthropology, Hurst's primary purpose is to help his readers coordinate their own experience, to help them learn more effectively.
