SURROUNDED BY GENIUSES: UNLOCKING BRILLIANCE IN YOURSELF, YOUR COLLEAGUES AND YOUR ORGANIZATION
Book ID/图书代码: 12311007B12965
English Summary/英文概要: How many times have you arrived at work, exchanged greetings with your colleagues, attended a meeting or two, and then sat down at your desk overcome by the incredible feeling that you were surrounded by geniuses? And how many times have you headed home from work, looked around, and been struck with an awesome sense that you were surrounded by a world of geniuses and brilliant ideas?
In Surrounded by Geniuses Alan Gregerman presents a revolutionary guide to personal, professional and organizational success based on two ideas:
First, that there is genius hidden in all of us. And second, that we are surrounded by a world filled with genius that can be used to transform any company or organization in order to deliver compelling customer value.
He then shows us in clear and practical ways how to unlock the genius in ourselves and our organizations by discovering and applying insight from the worlds of business, history, popular culture, nature, science and even science fiction.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 你曾多少次在工作中有過這樣的感受,與同事互相寒暄過後,有一、二個會議要參加,卻發現與你同坐在會議桌前的人各各聰明絕頂,你只得自我安慰並克服這種難以言表的感覺?又有多少次你下班回家的路上,發現四周的人天資聰穎,無法言喻的感受又從心中冒出?
在本書中,作者亞倫葛雷格曼博士認為個人、專業和團體成功之路的革命性指標是立基於兩個概念之上:
第一、我們每個人的四周都潛伏著許多天才。
第二、我們可以利用佈滿在四周的天才改變公司或組織運作,以傳達令人信服的客戶價值觀。
以簡潔而又實用的方法告訴我們,如何發掘並運用全球商業、歷史、流行文化、自然、科學、甚至是科幻小說中的觀察,以找出我們自己潛在的天賦,以及團隊中具有天賦的人才。
Awards/获奖情况:In business today, it’s the soft stuff that leaders discover to be the most difficult, which is one reason behind the onslaught of change-management books. Here’s another to add to that shelf, with a slightly different spin from a slightly different type of expert-consultant. The angle is that it is possible to nurture an internal culture of innovation and creativity by looking carefully at 10 companies and products, ranging from L. L. Bean to Spider-Man. The author is a Washington, D.C., consultant-writer (Lessons from the Sandbox, 2000) whose career includes mapmaker and subway mechanic. Gregerman’s point of view—that we all have the potential to be geniuses—is introduced via examples; the Ritz-Carlton chain, for instance, underscores the importance of paying careful attention to customer requests. Seinfeld’s old TV show, on the other hand, talks about the criticality of getting all the little things right. These stories are followed by the practical applications for corporate America—in terms of individuals, managers, and organizations. Jacobs, Barbara---From Booklist
