The intuitive mind: profiting from the power of your sixth sense

The book is a stimulating and provocative thought piece. The big idea of The Intuitive Manager is that human achievement owes much to the seemingly a-rational processes which: (a) occur beneath the level of conscious awareness (hencewe have little access to them); (b) emerge into the light of day as intuitions; (c) can be better understood and developed in all of us. To this end it will examine the power of the hunch in fields of endeavour ranging from science and technology, to business and management to philosophy and spirituality. The aim of the book is to take the most up-to-date body of knowledge and research findings and transform and translate these into a form that is digestible and usable by a wide readership: The Intuitive Manager will complement the recently-published academic text book Inside Intuition (Sadler-Smith, 2008) which is aimed specifically at business and management students rather than the generalaudience at which Intuitive Intelligence is aimed. A distinctive feature of the book is that it will combine the popularization of scholarship, an examination of professional practice and hands-on activities for application. The toneof the book is informative, authoritative and scholarly (rather than vague, speculative and mystical); its voice is informal (rather than academic); it is concrete rather than abstract (examples as opposed to theory will figure prominently); its structure will be flexible (to the extent that in the context-specific chapters it need not be read sequentially). It will not present an advocacy for intuition (in contrast to the voluminous new age-type books with theirbases, and biases, in mysticism), rather it will present a balanced, and where necessary cautionary and critical, account of intuition.
