    Lessons from the Sandbox: Using the 13 Gifts of Childhood to Rediscover the Keys to Business Success!
    By Alan S. Gregerman

    Message from the Author:
    "Lessons" is a book about the magic of childhood, the potential of adulthood, jumping in puddles, and prospering in tomorrow's economy. To succeed in the world of business today and in the future, companies, their leaders, and all of their employees must learn to innovate and grow at the speed of life. So why not take a few lessons from the world's leading authorities on innovation and growth...small children? I like to think that "Lessons" provides a powerful, straightforward, and refreshing new formula for business success based on the magic of childhood.

    When I looked closely at the corporate world and the daily lives of children, it became clear that there are 13 key "gifts" or talents we all possessed quite naturally as kids that are essential to business success. These are the gifts of play, enthusiasm, focus, urgency, leadership, wonder, curiosity, questioning, trying, creativity, participation, making safe and cozy places, and accomplishing simple and great things. In addition to explaining these gifts and their importance, "Lessons" shows in upbeat and practical terms how we can rediscover them and use them to improve corporate performance and our personal success.

    The message of "Lessons" is simple. We all possess the innate ability to make a real difference--in essense to "leap tall buildings in a single bound." But as we get older most of us lose the knack for tapping these gifts of childhood. And most companies and organizations lose the knack for inspiring us to really tap our full potential.
