Using real-life practical experiences, serial entrepreneur and thought leader Faisal Hoque teams up with journalist Drake Baer to provide a personal and professional playbook that shows how to:

  • Holistically connect the when and what with who you are
  • Inspire and lead inside and outside of your organization
  • Generate ideas, grounded decisions, and long-term value
  • Part philosophy, part business, and part history, Everything Connects offers the wisdom of 2,500-year-old Eastern philosophies and the interconnected insights of Leonardo da Vinci. Couple that with Fortune 100 corporate cross pollination for creativity and startup thinking for how to adapt with ease, and youll quickly discover that Everything Connects.

    This isnt just a quick fix for your next financial quarter; this is how you succeed in the long run. It is a systemization of the best practices of spirituality and entrepreneurshiploaded with knowledge, humor, and humanity.

    FOREWORD
    INNOVATION IS A HUMAN ENDEAVOR

    By Marshall Goldsmith

    As the world has become more globally connected, our personal interconnections have grown exponentially. The speed and pace of our days has greatly increased. In this busier, more connected world, it can be difficult to take the time needed to reflect on our careers and our lives. While our opportunities and challenges seem to be growing, the time available to reflect on these opportunities and challenges seems to be shrinking.

    My professional mission is to help successful leaders achieve positive, lasting change in behavior. Over the years I have seen how the leadership behaviors that have led to one level of success might not be the same behaviors needed to achieve a higher level of success. In my coaching, all my clients receive confidential 360-degree feedback. This feedback comes from managers, peers, colleagues, and direct reports. In many cases my clients also receive feedback from family members and friends. This type of comprehensive feedback may enable us to see the blind spots that inhibit our growth. When leaders have a complete perspective, they can move forward with clarity. Buddha noted that right understanding leads to right action. One word for such a comprehensive view of life is holistic.

    In problem analysis, the holistic approach takes into account the whole system of causes and effects that have an impact on the problem. If the problem were a knot, the holistic problem solver would review each threads direction and how they all fit togetherhow the many parts created the puzzling whole. After seeing how the tangling happened, it can be easy to untie the knot; the solution practically suggests itself.

    Holistic problem solving helps us systematically review the messy knots in our lives and then create clear, ready-to-implement solutions.

    This book helps us find holistic solutions to problems in our organizations and in our lives. To do this it combines different disciplines.

    While there are many books about understanding business and many books about understanding ourselves, there are few books that address both issues at once. In addressing both of these issues, Faisal Hoque and Drake Baer have drawn upon knowledge from many sources, including organizational theory, neuroscience, and management theory, as well as psychology, spirituality, and self-improvement. Their holistic approach illustrates how these different views of the world can be connected.

    The holistic approach described in the book was shaped by the backgrounds of the authors. Faisal, the entrepreneur, innovator, and elder of the duo, was born in Bangladesh (near the birthplace of Buddha) and found himself in the boardrooms of Fortune 100 companies by the time he was 27. Drake, the journalist, traveler, and younger of the two, was born in Illinois and found himself in Himalayan meditation retreats by the time he was 24. Theres something disparate, united, and exciting about that combo, and their creative tension is found throughout the argument and adventure of the text. Together, theyve created a book thats as much about business as it is about life or as much about life as it is about business.
