About this listen

During the past century, the United States was rated first among nations in technological innovation. This provided a strong foundation for a booming economy and the emergence of countless improvements in how we live. We now are ranked fourth. We rate 41st in education, and a dismal 85th in the percentage of graduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

This audiobook describes things that this country can do to regain its preeminence in scientific creativity and innovation. It suggests to managers and corporate leaders ways to motivate and inspire organizations to innovate. The audiobook also offers guidance to those aspiring to careers in STEM fields.

Ken Richardson cites historic examples to illustrate the thinking rationale of successful inventors. He also draws on an extensive personal corporate career to provide examples of proven management styles that establish a stimulating
workplace.

The audiobook's contents provide a clear path to help the USA once again attain its world leadership in innovation.
