Getting to Great Idea! Stop Whining. Start Winning

by Daisy White, Charles White

Overview

Most of us live our lives operating within relationships of one type or another. How we live and perform in these relationships - with our families, our co-workers, our community, even with ourselves - defines who we are and determines our success as human beings. Getting to Great Idea! Stop Whining. Start Winning. is a modern fable with an ancient theme. In the classic struggle between short-term ego gratification and longer-term happiness, fulfillment, and success -- between getting our way and getting things done -- it's easy to lose sight of what’s most important.

Getting to Great Idea!, uses the device of Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso from Dante’s Divine Comedy to tell the story of a young woman, Beatryce, "B," who extricates herself from the Hell of a Saturday marketing team meeting. She then enters the Purgatory of candid awareness of self and others as well as accountability. Finally she emerges into the Paradise of working with a team with the desire and ability to get to Great Idea!
