Book Review: The Back of the Napkin - Solve Your Workplace Problems With Pictures!

As a workplace leader, you are responsible for solving difficult, often complex problems. Every day at work can present a new challenge or crisis- and this can be frustrating and stressful.

However, Dan Roam, author of the book, The Back of the Napkin, has found a way to make problem solving exciting and invigorating. And, it could revolutionize your workplace.

"We are fundamentally visual creatures," says Roam. Therefore, "We can solve our problems by using pictures."

Using pictures takes the complexity out of problems.

Here are two FREE must see videos.

In his video, he explains that people need to ask these three questions.

1. Which problems are we talking about?
2. Which pictures are we talking about?
3. Who are we?

To get a quick idea of this concept in a 5 minute video, click here:

But, even better, for a FREE 45 minute video seminar on solving problems
with pictures, go to:

Then, buy the book.

What about you?  What are your experiences with using pictures to solve
problems? Please add your comments.
