The goal is to ask and ponder the right questions, to dare to think differently, to find new applications within unique and cutting edge dimensions, ultimately to lead where others may follow or to risk forging perhaps a new path entirely.

Come take a mythical journey with Henry from The Village of Yore and the many colorful characters of The Golden Palace on their quest to unlock the palatial gates of the corporate Ivory Tower. Dr. Cheryl Lentz has cleverly offered an allegorical tale that demonstrates the lessons learned when leaders in organizations fail to listen and serve the needs of their stakeholders. These lessons emerge through the eyes of such characters as Nada from The Village of Not Likely, Earl from The Village of That's the Way We've Always Done It, and Merlin from The Village of Calm and Clarity. Join them as well as King William III and The Royal Academy of Bean Counters as they journey toward understanding the elegant simplicity of effective leadership, unlocking the secrets to The Golden Palace Theory of Management along the way. This revised second edition offers a companion workbook for discussion, reflection, and refractive thinking. The purpose of this workbook is to examine each character within this allegorical tale and their leadership qualities more closely. Take a leap of faith and follow us in our journey. Perhaps you may recognize some old friends along the way.

The Refractive Thinker(R) celebrates the accomplishments of the doctoral scholars contained within the pages of their award winning Volume IV: Ethics, Leadership, and Globalization. The intent is to provide a forum for these authors to share their thoughts and expertise as they contribute to our expanse of knowledge in pursuits of the tenets of and philosophies of higher learning. The title of this series, The Refractive Thinker(R) was chosen intentionally to describe a new way of thinking. As a society, we often find ourselves between the dichotomies of either thinking within the box (thinking) or outside of the box (critical thinking). The Refractive Thinker(R) introduces the concept of refractive thinking - thinking beyond the box, perhaps even building a new box entirely. As a result, this series highlights the ability of these doctoral scholars to bend thought, to converge its very essence on the ability to obliquely pass through the perspective of another. The goal is to ask and ponder the right questions; to dare to think differently, to find new applications within unique and cutting edge dimensions, ultimately to lead where others may follow or to risk forging perhaps a new path entirely. The goal of this series is to provide additional guidance one might need as a citizen of the world. For Volume IV, these scholars and authors provide readers with new lenses with which to explore ambiguity and to navigate turbulent waters offering new paths to success. Topics will include ethics, leadership, and various global concerns currently affecting the business landscape.
