It allowed me to better understand the topic and to share it with the best specialists. Years later, I stillhave not found a better model, and there is no doubt I owe Gottlieb Guntern the opportunity to have been able to enjoy such an event....

Penetrating the mysteries of the creative process is a legitimate, poetic and at the same time ingenuous dream. Greta and Gottlieb Guntern have been pursuing it for decades - and done so for all of us.

[Guntern's] skills include not only a thorough understanding of the speaker and the sophisticated audience but also an extensive knowledge of the most relevant international research on the topic. Over a period of three decades he has formulated a set of concepts and described a series of novel insights that led to his comprehensive theory on creativity and leadership. In a world in turmoil this book will be a much needed guide for the development of strategies and methods for sustainable problem solutions.
