Integral Philosophy, it outlines 10 fundamental 'shifts' or 'flips'
that can move you from small mind to Big Mind, bringing an
expanding capacity of leadership with each one. Give it a try and

A terrific contribution filled with original insights and
solutions.
--Jim Loehr, New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Power of
Full Engagement As most leaders know, the best answers are often
found in how one frames the question. In this remarkable book, Dr.
Ginny Whitelaw sharpens the reader's abilities to reframe
everything. Offering a genuinely innovative amalgamation of Eastern
thought and the world of work, Dr. Whitelaw provides the reader
grounding in practical leadership application, just as she
introduces the next stretching insight. This book is a gift that
keeps on giving.
--Ed Bernard, vice chairman, T. Rowe Price Group This book is an
incredible journey through soul-searching ideas, [providing] a
laser-focus on critical leadership issues, and practical exercises
that embed the understanding and ability to make the flip at our
very core. Fascinating!
