As an entrepreneur, manager, and problem-solver, Tomio Taki has shared discourse and advice with business persons ranging from those managing mom-and- pop shops to high-powered executives from across the globe. And while he is no anthropologist or sociologist, Taki has found that language has become less of an obstacle across borders; instead, cultural differences are what propel or vitiate communication amongst business persons. However, as Taki will share, there are certain fundamental aspects of business and life that cross latitudinal and longitudinal lines. The Innovation Instinct showcases the authors breadth of life experience and illustrates how the principles of Eastern and Western business practices can be meshed together as a source of power for success. Lessons range from the benefits of asking the simple questions to the importance of establishing oneself and knowing when to go against the grain.
