The quality of everything we do depends on the quality of the thinking we do first. The leaders, professionals, parents and teachers who understand this are at the top of their fields and inspire some of the finest independent thinking in their environments.

In More Time to Think, Nancy Kline shares ten effective ways to help people think for themselves with rigour, imagination, courage and grace. From learning that the mind works best in the presence of a question (so never be afraid to risk being wrong) and that a key factor in the quality of a person's thinking is how they are treated by the people with them while they are thinking, to the importance of appreciation and of facing what you have been denying, Nancy Kline shows how to create a successful Thinking Environment, whether for two people or a larger group.

Editorial Reviews

Review

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

"We have an epidemic of obedience."
5 Stars
"We have an epidemic of obedience."
Building on her previous work, Time to Think, which came out in 1984, Nancy Kline asks us a question: “I ponder what it will take to produce a planet of people thinking for themselves.”And she postulates the answer: “Turning our organizations and governments and religions and schools and families into thinking environments.”This is what I love about the book. First of all, it's all about thinking, independent thinking. The author doesn't go down the tried and tired path of ‘you need to think better’ but how do you help others think? We all play a role in not only in our own thinking, but how does our behavior impact the thinking ability of others?In order to create this environment. She has 10 components.The first one is attention.Others might call this listening, but listening has become a somewhat polluted term interpreted in different ways. It's really about attention, to attend to, where the ‘tend’ comes from the same root as the word tendon. That is to say, to stretch forward toward.Attention, she says, is an act of creation.The 10 components areAttention.EqualityEaseAppreciationEncouragementFeelingsInformationDiversityIncisive questions andPlace.I thoroughly enjoyed the book and highly recommend it to anyone who thinks we're suffering from a shortage of thinking. I personally do not believe that thousands of account managers at Wells Fargo were evil, that hundreds of engineers of Volkswagen were evil, or even that the players on the Houston Astros were evil. These things happen because there are a few misguided people, and a culture of unthinking obedience. Let's all work together and fix that.

As an Executive, Leadership and Team Coach as well as Coaching Supervisor and Mentor, I am enthralled with this book! Nancy Kline affirms the power of the question and the importance of what we call "presence" in coaching ("a key factor in the quality of a person's thinking is how they are treated by the people with them while they are thinking"). Great supporting evidence of systemic changes resulting from a shift to the "Thinking Environment." I am listening to the audio book and impressed by her beautiful use of language.

Whether because one desires to be more caring and constructive in times of others' distress or whether angling for advancement in leadership or working towards more peaceful personally enriching horizons.. the concepts and practice are quite transforming. I didn't go through all the examples at the end but the content of the first half of the book impressed itself upon me. Contemplating make this one of 2 books as the reading for a undergraduate honors colloquium.

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2018
I got this in audio format. Good book, but I hated her voice and her reading unfortunately. The quality of her patience comes off as too exaggerated and makes me wanna tear my ears off. As powerful as true listening and sincere appreciation goes, I really just don’t like how she read this book.

I am incorporating THINKing into several group presentations for women educators. This book and the first one--Time to Think--have influenced my leadership behavior. I recommend it for the person who wants to help others realize what they already know.

5.0 out of 5 stars More time to think ..... I wasn't so sure
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 15, 2022
Verified Purchase
“More time to think” is a great book, it just wasn’t for me.

Maybe my expectations were high as it was recommended to me by somebody in leadership I highly respect. But I have to be honest I found it a chore to read.

Yes, it has some great insight, but I also thought it was full of filler, I found myself skipping over sentences and then having to go back and read what I had missed. In most cases, not much. Because of the book being a runaway bestseller, I can only assume this is about me and not the book. My recommendation would be to read something like “dare to lead” by Brene Brown, where is has more “meat” and less “fluff”.

5.0 out of 5 stars Transformational reading!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 17, 2012

I first heard of Nancy's work in 2008 from a fellow coach who said that it had transformed the way she coached. Intrigued, I bought Nancy's earlier book "Time to Think". Wanting more, I enrolled on a course with Nancy. It was hard work but I was hooked. I could see that this way of working was truly transformational for the client - and for me.

More Time to Think is essential reading for anyone involved in coaching, mentoring, facilitating, managing, public speaking, training, consulting, managing meetings, and in fact in any kind of relationship. Why? Because the Thinking Environment works. It helps people to think for themselves so they make their lives better, and do their jobs better. It helps them to be creative, to generate fresh ideas, to build trusting relationships, to appreciate others, to engage, to collaborate, to inspire, to get results, and more. The book shows how it can (and believe me, does) benefit everyone by incorporating the principles into their life and work. And the latest neuropsychological research is beginning to tell us more about how and why it works, which is particularly exciting. Savour and enjoy!
