What Made Alexander Great? / Reframing Problems

Great leaders throughout history solved intractable problems by using a creative technique that Dr. Kurke labeled “reframing problems” in his book The Wisdom of Alexander the Great.  Ignoring predefined problems, great leaders find or create alternative problems that, when solved, eliminate or render moot the original “unsolvable” problem.  (This talk can be delivered without military examples.)

Recreating Reality

Dr. Kurke’s next book shows the power of various social science theories to make even radical changes in all aspects of organizations.  Primarily these changes are cognitive, enabling creative leaders to make almost any organizational modification and meet greatly increased goals.  Nearly all of our organizational attributes are social agreements, and are thus not “real” in that we can agree to change our “social contracts.”

Dream Bigger Dreams

Unlike the intellectually demanding keynotes based on social science research, “Dream Bigger Dreams” is a highly entertaining, motivational talk suitable for all audiences.  Using modern and historical vignettes, male and female leaders, unorthodox and obscure knowledge, Dr. Kurke weaves a delightful web that leaves the audience inspired and motivated to want to achieve more both personally and professionally.
