Lateral Approach

- How not to leave success to chance whether you manage a small shop or a multi-million dollar corporation

Simplicity is equivalent to effectiveness. So says The Mystic…

And so begins this series of self-help business handbooks unlike any on the market today. Related in simple, short story format, the Lateral Approach Series introduces the reader to the wisdom of The Mystic – the embodiment of the authors’ practical experience as business leaders in the technology industry and their conviction in the ability to create success through values-based management principles that produce results and bring out the best in people.

Through the teachings of The Mystic, the Lateral Approach Series lays out in inter-personal terms powerful New Age alternatives to fundamental management techniques that every operation and everyone within it can understand, practice, and embrace. A core philosophy of creating success for everyone and three succinct values serve as new rules of engagement for breaking current thinking patterns and solving problems in a creative and unconventional manner.

As author H.W. Sit describes it, “A Lateral Approach, like a good pair of polarized shades, enhances conventional wisdom by applying new perspectives to common, day-to-day challenges. It is not that you cannot see your way through with conventional lenses, it is that, by viewing challenges and solutions through the prism of a Lateral Approach, you may become more effective and successful in whatever you do.”

Unorthodox, inspirational, simplistic yet comprehensive, the Lateral Approach Series goes beyond disseminating information. For, as The Mystic reveals, to manage by the Lateral Approach, you must practice it, live it, and share it. Accordingly, each book within the series includes at-a-glance recaps of its most significant ideas and engaging exercises that are designed to enlighten, improve organizational awareness, and put Lateral Approach thinking at the core of orchestrating success.
