In theory, bumblebees should not be able to fly, but they do. Because they have to. But people, no matter how smart or how skilled they might be, do not always get off the ground. We are all born with common sense, but we don't always--or often--use it. Must we drift without direction the rest of our lives? Are we doomed if we seem incapable of using our common sense? No, says bestselling author and professional speaker Barry Siskind. In Bumblebees Can't Fly, he shows you how to develop and follow his Seven Strategies of Common Sense. After mastering these simple yet shrewd strategies, you will begin to make more confident decisions, improve your foresight, listen to the wisdom already deep within you--and fly, like the bumblebees!

Aus dem Klappentext

Having trouble staying productive?

Does everything you do make sense?

What is common sense?

If it doesn't come naturally, how can we cultivate it?

And if we don't all use it, what's so common about it?

In a fast-paced world of rapid change and sometimes overwhelming options, it can be difficult to come up with the right solutions. We are often too busy running around, focusing on the negative, or trapped in old ways of doing things to see a better way of doing things, or to come up with a better solution to a problem.

We often confront challenges unprepared simply because we don't always understand how to use the common sense we were born with. To get better results, we need to do things differently, use different approaches, try fresh ideas, and to use our common sense--our most valuable, and yet least often used, resource.

This book will show you how to stay productive by using the common sense you already have--how to recognize it, harness it, and put it to good use. It offers seven easy-to-learn strategies that will give you the power to take charge of your life and control your own destiny.

By incorporating these simple strategies into your daily life, Bumblebees Can't Fly can help you:
* Bring common sense back into everything you do, in work and in life
* Stay productive in challenging times
* Discover new ways of empowering yourself, and your employees
* Learn from others through numerous examples and personal stories

If you follow the seven simple strategies in Bumblebees Can't Fly, you too will find your pot of honey at the end of the day.
