Product Description
Review
More Time To Think is a vital contribution to our empowerment in transcending what often seem like insurmountable challenges. --Isaac Matheta Swafo, Managing Director, ProCorp South Africa
As we make sense of change in the 21st century, a deep understanding of the Thinking Environment should be part of every leadership development programme. It intrinsically values the contribution and humanity of each person, and drives team effectiveness. Its power is evident in higher quality relationships, as well as in shorter, smarter meetings. Bravo! --Rosemary Grant, Statutory Director, Johnson & Johnson Medical UK
The Thinking Environment is a revolutionary and inspiring tool. --Martin Kalungu-Banda, Author of Like Madiba: Leadership Lessons From Nelson Mandela

Product Description
More Time To Think is a resounding yes to this question. In this graceful, sage, second book in the Time To Think series, Nancy Kline will take you into the heart of the Thinking Environment as it has unfolded over these ten years since the publication of Time To Think. It will touch you with stories, challenge you with theory, inspire you with results, stretch you with questions, excite you with practice. And it will move you with its eloquence and warmth. This book is both a good place to start and a superb place to continue your understanding of this important theory and process. Time To Think and More Time To Think walk hand in hand. If you long for leadership you trust, meetings you love, relationships you cherish, community you know can work for everyone, or the life you really want, More Time To Think can lead you there.

Reading Nancy Kline's first book was a revelation. It led me to train with her and her remarkable Time to Think organisation. Reading More Time to Think has made me see just how deeply and consistently she lives the thinking environment she describes, as in this new book she challenges and develops every aspect of the process she has created over the last 30 years.
More Time to Think is written with clarity, offering us practical ways to think independently, to challenge deep-rooted assumptions about the world and ourselves, to use every moment of our thinking time constructively and dynamically. It is jargon-free, avoiding the popular temptation to trick out major concepts in academic dress. It is often funny. It is always deeply human and accessible.
Yes, David Cameron and Nick Clegg should read this: so should every world leader (other than the President of Zambia, who already knows about it); so should every manager, organiser, team player. Every banker and trader. Every parent, teacher and student. Everyone. The world has huge need of clear thinking, and this is it.

Coaching is based on a fundamental belief that every individual has the capacity and ability to know and do what is right and best for them as an individual. During my training and subsequent continuing professional development as a coach, I time after time come across coaches who think that some people 'need a coach who is more directive', as though some people are capable of thinking for themselves and others may not be. They should all read this book. It is for anyone who has ever doubted that every individual has within them the ability to, in Nancy's words "think with rigour, courage, imagination and grace", and any questions I had about the directive/non-directive debate have vanished since reading it. As leaders or coaches, we NEVER know better than an individual what they want or need. We might, suggests Nancy, encourage their thinking, for example by giving them more time, creating an environment which encourages them to think, helping them to think more insightfully by asking the appropriate incisive question, or showing that we have confidence in their ability to think for themselves. If we do, the results are amazing - I've put Nancy's advice into practice in my coaching and can vouch for it.

There are some books that are fundamental to the way I work, and this is one of them. The positive effect of using Nancy Kline's Thinking Environment(TM) as an approach to working with others is profound.
If you've sat through business meetings at which everyone is vying for their turn, and where the loudest hold sway and interruption is the norm, or listened with growing despair to the conflicting advice of well-meaning friends, you'll really appreciate the power of the Thinking Environment(TM).
Nancy Kline's aim is to improve radically the quality of our thinking, by creating an environment of deep attentiveness. Her book describes how, in a respectful thinking partnership, limiting assumptions can be challenged by the use of incisive questions. I've used her original book, Time to Think, since it first appeared.
In "More Time to Think", Nancy Kline expands her philosophy in the light of 10 years more profound thought since her first book appeared. The model has been refined, and is more exquisite. A whole new world can be created in the thinker's mind from the question "What do you want to think about and what are your thoughts?" It works, it really does.
