Who Killed Creativity?: ...And How Do We Get It Back?

"Who Killed Creativity? reveals what it takes for companies, leaders, managers and individuals to build a culture of creativity and innovation and find new solutions to current problems. Creativity and innovation are critical for future satisfaction and survival: in a recent survey of 1500 CEOs, creativity was found to be the most important quality in leadership, more important than integrity and global thinking. And yet research shows that creativity is now declining at an alarming rate. In this intriguing (and creative!) book, Andrew and Gaia Grant help to reveal why creative thinking and innovation are so important, to identify the possible reasons for the decline of creativity in our generation, and then to provide practical tools in creative thinking and problem solving. The book is organised into two parts: 1. Principles: The death and resuscitation of creativity and 2. Practice: How can we get it back Key features: § How the loss of creative confidence affects the bottom line. § What are the secrets behind creative genius and how can it can be harnessed? § Teaching creative thought and re-wiring the creative brain. § The steps for real transformation comes from strategic planning, innovating, communicating, and implementing. § The three cogs for successful innovation: - 1. Individual approaches method: 7 strategies for creative thinking - 2. Team Actions method: the creative walkaround - 3. Organisation innovation method: the innovation radar and the customer connection"

False Positive: A Novel

"For fans of Craig Johnson and James Lee Burke-False Positive follows up the powerful punch of Andrew Grant's novel RUN with a staggering second dose of thrills and suspense that is just as smart, atmospheric, and soul-searing. Alabama detective Cooper Devereaux makes no apologies for his luxe lifestyle or the way he does his job. Most cops haven't lived the kind of life he has-starting out as an orphan, raised by a grizzled cop savior-and most don't use his kind of high-risk tactics. But he may have met his match in fellow detective Jan Loflin, who's fresh off a long undercover stint in Vice when they're partnered on a case that will test them both beyond their direst nightmares. A seven-year-old boy has disappeared from his home in the Birmingham suburbs. But the more Devereaux digs into the missing child's background, the more he discovers about his own, eventually shaking loose a series of harrowing truths-about bloodlines, mass murder, obsession, and what two damaged detectives have in common with the innocent victim they're so desperate to save. This twisty page-turner-the debut of the Detective Cooper Devereaux series-hurtles at a mile a minute through an action-packed search for a missing child, culminating in an ending that no reader will see coming.

Run: A Novel

"For fans of Harlan Coben's Tell No One and Joseph Finder's Paranoia-a high-octane thriller featuring a tech consultant who unwittingly steps into the rabbit hole of corporate cover-ups-and finds that his highly demanding job has suddenly become highly dangerous. From Andrew Grant, the critically acclaimed author hailed by Nelson DeMille as "a little bit of le Carré and Ian Fleming, but with more grit and a sharper edge," comes a thrilling novel of suspense that hits the ground running when an innocent man suddenly finds himself a moving target. Marc Bowman, a highly successful computer consultant and software designer, walks into his job at a major tech company one morning only to find himself fired on the spot, stonewalled by his boss, and ushered out of the building. Then things get worse: An explosive argument drives his wife away and a robbery threatens to yank a million-dollar idea-and his whole future-out from under him. In a matter of hours, Marc has gone from having it all to being sucker-punched by fate. But it's only Monday, and before the week is over, he'll be stalked, ambushed, wiretapped, arrested, duped, double- and triple-crossed-until he can't tell enemies from allies. Suddenly, the only thing standing between him and the wrath of everyone from the FBI to Homeland Security to his desperate ex-bosses is a flash drive full of data that might just be the holy grail of high-tech secrets-and a holy terror in the wrong hands. Now, as the gloves come off and the guns come out, turning back is hopeless and giving up is madness. The only person left for Marc to trust is himself. And the only thing left to do is keep running-or end up a dead man walking.
