7The Business of Possibility - reimagining your organisation - the essence of the entrepreneur.This book holds the potential to mark a paradigm shift for those in business and other organisations.It may be the first ground-breaking work since the book by Peters and Waterman - In Search of Excellence - almost 40 years ago. This is a guide. It points to and explains the shift business leaders - men and women - and the influential must make to create sustainable organisations. That is, if they want to thrive in this new world, we have all entered. It demands that you take your own journey of deepening, or re-discovering, your innate transformative state - your own state of Possibility. Possibility is the superhighway you travel along when seeing and manifesting any transformative idea.It leads to a new life and relationships - the vital ingredients in transforming your business or organisation.In this guide, John recounts instances from his life of seeing Possibility, the impact these instances had on his business, as well as on the lives of many of his colleagues and clients. He explains how you too can see Possibility; what it might and might not be; the benefit of letting go of thinking you know 'the truth'; the freedom that seeing Possibility can give you; and how, when seen, it can re-cast how you see life, and re-shape your communications, relationships, business, family and vocational life for your own benefit and for the common good.In seeing Possibility, you - like John - can see a world in which we are kind and understanding towards one another, where a sense of fairness and decency govern all our decisions at work and at play. The Business of Possibility guides you on a journey that will benefit all of us.Author bio - John A. WoodAt 19, John turned around a run-down delicatessen into the most successful in his city.
