TORONTO, Nov 02, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- FS | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- In his recent best-selling book, Prof. Roger Martin, Dean of the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, took a practitioners' look at how great leaders succeed in the worlds of business, the arts and social sectors. This month Prof. Martin will discuss the findings from, The Opposable Mind: How Successful Leaders Win Through Integrative Thinking (Harvard Business Press, 2007) during presentations in Mumbai and Bangalore.

The presentations will focus on the problem-solving power of "Integrative Thinking". Prof. Martin will draw on more than 50 management success stories from his book including the masterminds behind Four Seasons Hotels, Procter & Gamble, Infosys, eBay and ICICI Bank, to demonstrate how, like the opposable thumb, the "opposable mind" -- Prof. Martin's term for the human brain's ability "to hold two conflicting ideas in constructive tension" -- is an intellectually advantageous evolutionary leap through which decision-makers can synthesize new and superior ideas. Using this strategy, his research focuses on what leaders think, rather than what they do.

Mumbai Date: Monday, November 10 6:30 sharp-7:30pm presentation and Q&A: 7:30-8:30pm cocktails Location: ITC Grand Central Hotel, 287 Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Road, Parel, Mumbai Bangalore Date: Wednesday, November 12, 2008 6:30-6:45 pm refreshments 6:45 sharp to 8:00 pm presentation and Q&A Location: Bangalore International Centre, TERI Complex, 4th Main, 2nd Cross, Domlur II Stage, Bangalore
