Her unique approach brings a psychological perspective to the topic, shedding light on: * perception * cognition * development * the creative process The book outlines recent work on fundamental personality characteristics, such as the Big Five, and describes the impact of personal style on creativity, problem solving, decision making and ways of communicating. It goes on to discuss the implications of long-standing cultural values on today's business practice and concludes by suggesting ways in which organizations can adopt more socially responsible and sustainable practices.
