Publisher's summary

Strategic Jaywalking is a playful yet sober assessment of how we might live and lead better by judiciously keeping our devices and policies on a leash and exercising a little more conscious thought and decision-making responsibility in our work and lives. It relies on something that nearly all of us were taught at a young age—how to safely cross a street, and yet, by idiot-proofing the experience via rules and technology (think painted crosswalks, beeping timers, and flashing red hands), we have, in many respects, made the process both slower and more dangerous. In too many ways, and for too long, we have done the same by allowing leadership to morph into "supervising" because, well, it’s simpler and not as messy. Jay is of the mind that you "supervise" young children, with a goal of willful compliance. Adults, on the other hand, engage much better via the influence of competent and capable leadership that lets them think for themselves.

Practical Approach to a Lifetime of Leadership

In the wake of success stories such as Apple, the notion of thinking differently has become popularized to the point that the concept itself tends to dissolve into an omnipresent mantra with only the rarest recognition of when "thinking differently" actually occurs. This book communicates a pragmatic approach to thinking differently in everyday life - "Jaywalking" with a uniquely authentic and kind voice that comes from a lifetime of lived leadership.
