New book on business topics
"Dare to Think Differently: How Open--Mindedness Creates Exceptional Decision--Making" by Gerald Zaltman, published on February 24, 2026, addresses the critical management challenge of cognitive rigidity in high--stakes leadership. Zaltman, an emeritus professor at Harvard Business School, utilizes deep--dive interviews with global executives to uncover the unconscious mental processes that drive success. The book introduces six specific techniques—such as "serious playfulness" and "befriending ignorance"—to help leaders move beyond linear thinking and avoid decision--making traps. It has been well--received in the US, with Forbes highlighting its importance as a guide for developing the human competencies required to thrive in an AI--informed world. For the Polish market, where leadership is transitioning toward more agile and psychologically informed models, this work provides a rigorous, research--backed framework for navigating complex and uncertain environments.
