Imagine being able to finally find your passion and have complete clarity about what you were meant to do. There is a short-cut to finding your passion and that is asking the right questions.

Unreasonable ambition is having a supreme belief in your capability to achieve the impossible, driven by a higher purpose. This book is a call to access the greatness inside you that is waiting to be unleashed. It's then that you can live with unreasonable ambition.

How often do you interrupt? How often do people interrupt you? Can you remember the last time someone listened to you all the way through your thinking? In her new book, Nancy Kline, best-selling author of Time to Think, makes this radical proposal: 'I won't interrupt you' is a promise that changes everything. It deepens relationships, spawns dignity, raises the intelligence of groups and enriches every conversation. It may, in fact, be the most important promise we ever make. And the hardest to keep.

In a survey, 85 percent of companies said they often struggle to solve the right problems. The consequences are severe: Leaders fight the wrong strategic battles. Teams spend their energy on low-impact work. Startups build products that nobody wants. Organizations implement “solutions” that somehow make things worse, not better.
