Helping Your Co-Workers Think Outside the Box


Helping Your Co-Workers Think Outside the Box by Dennis Wortzel

While you might be a "natural" at thinking "outside of the box" that doesn't necessarily mean you find it easy to help others attain this skill.  Though divergent thinking is an intuitive process, author DennisWortzel (an assistant manager of a Piggly Wiggly in Crivitz, WI for the past 10 years) is unwilling to concede that this skill is unteachable.  In fact he contends that until you help your co-workers develop this ability, you will continuously be frustrated by their resistance to your most creative ideas.  Wortzel serves up a set of  five strategies with a generous supply of humorous anecdotes that will have everyone at work thinking outside of the box.  Which admittedly might be a little bit of a problem if the solution is actually in the box.

Burdened by Knowledge: How to Fit In With the Less Intelligent


Burdened by Knowledge: How to Fit In With the Less Intelligent by C. L. Freedman.

Einstein once said, "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."  Does this quote resonate with you?  Does this quote describe your life? Have you felt the burden of having to "fit in" with the less intelligent people in your life?  C.L. Freedman, a member of Mensa for the past twenty years,  prescribes to the "highly enlightened person" six antidotes for enduring the general population.  If these remedies don't help its reader cope with the irrational people in his life, they almost certainly will provide some solace and  intellectual strokes to his ego. While originally intended for a small and select audience, surprisingly, this book has been on the Washington Post's best seller list for the past two years, selling over a million copies.
