The New Science of Radical Innovation: The Six Competencies Leaders Need to Win in a Complex World Hardcover – April 10, 2018

Transformation is a hard subject, but after reading the first three chapters from the book, I realized that it’s the best book that I ever read about Transformation. Dr. Sunnie took us to new concepts that no one wrote about before.The book provides a roadmap for anyone who is looking to grow as a leader, especially in the complex world. through developing a new competencies -Quantum Leadership.Transformation and Innovation are the two faces of the same coin. Jack Welch mentioned, “innovation is every day find a better way, if you can get an organization motivated, you go out and transfer the best ideas of each group, across groups, across regions, and keep improving the companies.” how I knew about your book?I followed Dr. Sunnie on LinkedIn after watching her Ted Talk 2017, As She said “We can start the change by being the change,… you can radically change the rule of the game and unleash the dragon in each of you, you all belonging to ocean.”Then I read her posts about your new book, after reading the sample I decided to read it, and add it to the transformation/innovation books that I have.The book will teach you how to harness complexity and jump-start radical innovation. It will reveal how to use complexity to your advantage instead of becoming paralyzed by it. It will teach you the concepts and tools necessary to adopt and exploit positive complexity, stimulating radical innovation with your products and services.Every Talent Manager and Executive shall encourage and reward the company’s employees to read & understand the concepts/tools in the book. So they could transform traditional companies into quantum companies.If you have a plan to read one book this year, let it be this one. It's just published.

This book gave me confidence to lead with empathy and kindness. Creating a safe space for employees to create and perform is what leads to success. Making sure we are having fun is what makes work worth it. Each principle is backed by scientific studies and research. The six guiding principles will be a focus for me as I lead my team.

Sunnie Giles is the queen of multi- disciplinary research. This thought-out provoking book brings together a wide variety of ingredients from as disparate as quantum mechanics and organizational management theory, and siimers them together in a rich broth designed to inspire innovative thought. While there are many points that may or may not be entirely accurate or provable (e.g. whether particle physics principles like wave theory or quantum entanglement apply to people and complex organizations) the juxtaposition of these ideas and the questions she raises get you thinking. This book does not aim to have all the right answers--rather it aims to ask interesting questions and help readers find answers that work for them. Well worth the time.

This is a very good book that is worth reading. I summarizes and maybe builds on works including Wheatly's "Leadership and the New Science", Johnson's "Emergence" and "Where Good Ideas Come From". The author references the latter work.My critical review is based on some factual errors that are unfortunate in a book that purports to be grounded on science. The most egregious is endorsing the obviously false Maharishi Effect. Other errors include conflating epigenetics with neural plasticity.

As a medical practitioner for over forty years, I have not found a book that has had more of a profound influence on me as the book written by Sunnie Giles call the New Science of Radical Innovation I have seen how this book could have helped me as a president of a state medical group, the managing partner of group of ten physicians, and now my own solo practice. The principles taught in Silicon Valley boardrooms are brought down to my level, so I can easily implement them, and radically innovate becoming a better businessman and also become a better person.

This is a great product and is very technical. It may be written over the heads of some and may make them turn away. It is however, a great tool for those. like me, who teach leadership and want to better understand or are seeking to know the clinical reasons why those in leadership positions choose to act the way they do.

This is one of those business books that provides a solid business framework on being an effective leader/manager in the modern market environment (complex, crowded, competitive) and employees seeking greater empathy and empowerment from their bosses. However, it does all of this by drawing really-well thought-out analogies from the natural world across many sciences: from quantum physics, to AI, to biology, to neuroscience. These not only make the material "fun" ready for a science/tech geek, but also make the book's argument for best practices more compelling since the same principles of effective leadership can be found elsewhere in the sciences.

The demands to innovate in our fast-paced, disruptive environment are only growing, and many leaders struggle to envision a framework for radical change. This book provides valuable insights into how humans innovate and what it takes to lead transformative change. Dr. Giles pulls across disciplines to weave a coherent, actionable story for breaking through archaic hierarchies and unleashing innovation across the organization and ecosystem.

Book well organized, clear, and easy to read. The content allows us a modern view of business in a complex world.
