The Innovators' Discussion is an essential guide book for teams seeking to harness the full knowledge and experience of every team member. Primarily written for entrepreneurial teams, the insights and exercises will help diverse teams in any field build the interpretive conversational skills needed to build healthy and effective diverse teams capable of spurring innovation.
