Before the pandemic forced Canadian author, speaker, and international negotiation consultant, Peter Nixon, to lock down in Hong Kong, he spent most weeks during the last 20 years in dialogue with thousands of leaders from hundreds of organisations in nearly 60 countries worldwide. This unique experience convinced Nixon our current economic, political, and environmental dysfunction is evidence a new direction is needed if we are to continue to thrive on earth throughout the 21st Century. Offered as an upgrade to the flawed 16th and 17th century economic policies of Adam Smith and Karl Marx, Nixon offers Potentialism as the 21st century solution to the age-old conflict between individual rights and collective responsibilities. Potentialism requires leaders to dialogue and partner with others to optimize potential instead of shareholder wealth or government control. Potentialism is based on the Nobel Prize winning economics of Professor John Nash, made famous in the Ron Howard film, A Beautiful Mind. In this timely book, Nixon identifies the nine hurdles which the best leaders, organisations and countries have learned to overcome today. Practical tips and plenty of anecdotes helps readers overcome the hurdles preventing them from realizing their potential. The hurdles include: Inspiration, sustainability, trusteeship, openness, partnering, bravery, alertness, dialogue, and faith. Decide which hurdles are slowing you and your organisation to make the changes needed and realise your potential today.
