‘As a lecturer, this book teaches you how to ignite the flame of creativity in your students. As a manager, it guides you to see beyond the facts, transcend norms and structures, and discover new ways of thinking, communicating, and organizing with humanity, integrity, and empathy. As a management scholar, this book encourages you to free yourself from predefined managerial terms, challenges you to set aside everything you've learned and redefines managerial theories by immersing yourself in the context, finding a poetic way to express your ideas without excluding others.’
