The Opposable Mind: How Successful Leaders Win Through Integrative Thinking is a book written by Roger Martin and published by the Harvard Business Review Press in 2007.

The book aims to introduce a concept of integrative thinking, using academic theory and insights from prominent business leaders to substantiate the idea.

Integrative thinkers: take a broad view of what is salient despite the increase it causes in the complexity of problems, consider multi-directional and non-linear causal relationships, keep the entire problem in mind while working on individual segments, and search for creative resolutions rather than accept tradeoffs.

The book has been noted for having a thesis that understands "that fresh thought processes are required to deal with the world's contradictions and complexities"[1] and has been praised for showing how great leaders think rather than what they do.

[2] India’s Business Today argues that the book will “almost certainly enable you to go beyond the sort of reasoning taught at most B-schools.”[3] The main criticism of the book has been its inability "to teach "generative reasoning" or to provide readers with specific conceptual tools and a knowledge system for integrative thinking.
