ENTERPRISE THOUGHT

What if the biggest problem in your business isn't the one everyone's arguing about?

In Enterprise Thought, veteran entrepreneur and business advisor R. Scott Shakespeare distills more than fifty years of hands-on experience — building sixteen companies across eighteen industries —into a single, deceptively simple discipline: find what's missing.

Born without a left arm in Lakewood, Ohio, Shakespeare learned as a five-year-old to solve problems by seeing the whole system before fixing any one part — a lesson that took him from a homemade swimming fin to a mobile detailing business on a Florida barrier island, then into toy design, prosthetics engineering, early internet search technology, satellite manufacturing, oil and gas, and digital commerce.

Along the way he developed Enterprise Thought, a systems-based leadership philosophy built around two forces every leader must align: heart and thought.

Part business book, part leadership memoir, part call to action, Enterprise Thought is for founders, executives, consultants, and anyone who has ever sensed that their organization's real problem isn't the one everybody keeps fixing.
