About this listen

 In his instant self-help classic, the international best seller How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci, Michael J. Gelb identified seven aspects of da Vinci's genius that contemporary readers can emulate and apply in their own lives. Now, in Work Like da Vinci, Gelb adapts these principles to the specific demands of the workplace, sharing the innovative solutions to contemporary corporate and career challenges that have kept him in constant demand as a top-tier speaker and consultant to Fortune 500 clients.

In Gelb's expert perspective, da Vinci's genius can be distilled into seven principles for the business listener:

  • Ask the right questions (Curiosita)
  • Put your answers to work (Dimostrazione)
  • Develop your business senses (Sensazione)
  • Turn uncertainty into opportunity (Sfumato)
  • Strike a profitable balance (Arte/Scienza)
  • Integrate for success (Corporalita)
  • Make the break-through connection (Connessione)

    These principles will help you tackle such timeless business challenges as: leadership; innovation; teamwork; strategic planning; decision-making; managing change and uncertainty; giving powerful presentations; giving and receiving feedback; and more.

    Having enjoyed reading his other book Learn Like Leonardo I was expecting more from this one.

    Content wise the books are almost identical. The principals are practical to put to use and there’s a healthy dose of insights about LDVs life. However there are far more in-depth biographies out there such as Walter Isaacson’s for that.

    The biggest disappointment was the ramblings the narrator would go-off on, for a few minutes at a time, straying away from the the topic of LDV and unnecessarily prolonging the book length.
