More about the book

What do The Beatles, Apollo 13, the Roman military, a pack of wolves, and top companies have in common? Plasticity. This ability to change, adapt, and excel is crucial for long-term success.

Plasticity empowers organizations to choose their destiny, become versatile, and take bold risks. The key lies in mastering the Magic 7 disciplines to infuse Plasticity into your organization. This approach, combined with sharp strategy and execution, will unleash the potential needed to achieve both personal and corporate aspirations—and perhaps even change the world.
