Seeing David in the Stone: Find and Seize Great Opportunities Using 12 Actions Mastered by 70 Highly Successful Leaders

Jim Swartz

      Learn how Jim Swartz has concluded that becoming a success in the marketplace was more than applying the practices of the TPS system. It’s also about mastering the science and art of Opportunity Finding and Seizing.
      For the last 20 years, he searched for answers to three timeless questions:

  • How did some people find and seize the great opportunities of their times?
  • What can we learn from them to help us find and seize great opportunities?
  • How did great leaders help others (and organizations) to find and seize great opportunities?

      In this search, they studied the works, and the past research on over 100 highly successful leaders and their organizations, including Edison, Einstein, Gates, Eiji Toyoda, Ohno, Shingo, Morita, Curie, Eisenhower, and Walton. They discovered that great innovators all took the same actions to find and seize the great opportunities of their times. Recently they published Seeing David in the Stone, a book focused on Finding High Leverage Opportunity, Mobilizing People to Seize opportunities, and Seizing Opportunities at High Leverage Points. Jim shares the best practices that make the difference between the great companies and the mediocre ones.
