How many times have you arrived at work, exchanged greetings with your colleagues, attended a meeting or two, and then sat down at your desk overcome by the incredible feeling that you were surrounded by geniuses?

If you're like most people, caught up in the stress of work and everyday life, the answer is a resounding "never!" But that's all about to change.

In Surrounded by Geniuses, Alan Gregerman presents a revolutionary guide to personal, professional, and organizational success based on two powerfully simple ideas: First, that there is genius hidden in all of us. And second, that we are surrounded by a world filled with genius that can be used to transform any company or organization in order to deliver compelling customer value.

So grab your curiosity and your most comfortable shoes. It's time for a remarkable trip to your future success!

Summary: You need to think different in business now.

Gee, really? No kidding. The world changes and business needs to change too. The author asks the right questions, but too often the answers are business as usual. How can we increase sales? Be more personably.

I would pick up this book and skim the chapter titles, nothing more.
