Which Title Do You Like?

The topic: the need for organizations to bring in, appreciate, and leverage divergent points of view.

The term I use for describing a person, team, or organization that has all of the styles is “playing with a full deck.” It’s a play on the term, “not playing with a full deck.”

I want a title that is cheeky and controversial. One of my books is called “Best Practices Are Stupid.” People still quote the title 15 years after its publication.

After reading the manuscript, many have used the “full deck” term when they realized they or their team/company were missing people they needed.

The original title was considered too in-your-face: You’re Not Playing with a Full Deck.

So I am considering “softer” titles.

One point: This book repositions the card game on which it is based—Personality Poker—to be less personality focused and more on collaboration culture, and innovation.

With that as background, here are the alternative titles I am considering. Which number do you like best?
