“Quantum Leap Thinking, or QLT, is a collection of ideas, concepts, distinctions, and skills that, when combined like active chemicals, naturally explode in their own way, catapulting you to a higher level, a level of increased energy, excitement, and options.
“QLT cannot be explained in typical linear fashion because the concepts, like a group of chemicals mixed and interacting, work in harmony. Together they form a strategy for personal and professional success.
“But not success in the traditional sense: QLT is about quality of life, and when you incorporate the QLT strategy in your daily life and practice it with commitment, you will experience a personal creative explosion. You will take the quantum leap.”
(Mapes 2003, p. xx).
According to the author, one needs a vision and goals consistent with one’s own vision. A grand vision is about others, is idealistic and spiritual, must be authentic, must be extraordinary, comes from the heart, and is value based. The five quantum leap values are respect, accountability, integrity, perseverance and discipline.
Hundreds or thousands of advices perhaps complicate this book. Motivational speaker for companies should evidently be a profitable profession.
