具体描述

You aspire to lead with greater impact. The problem is you’re busy executing on today’s demands. You know you have to carve out time from your day job to build your leadership skills, but it’s easy to let immediate problems and old mind-sets get in the way. Herminia Ibarra—an expert on professional leadership and development and a renowned professor at INSEAD, a leading international business school—shows how managers and executives at all levels can step up to leadership by making small but crucial changes in their jobs, their networks, and themselves. In Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader, she offers advice to help you:

• Redefine your job in order to make more strategic contributions

• Diversify your network so that you connect to, and learn from, a bigger range of stakeholders

• Become more playful with your self-concept, allowing your familiar—and possibly outdated—leadership style to evolve

Ibarra turns the usual “think first and then act” philosophy on its head by arguing that doing these three things will help you learn through action and will increase what she calls your outsight—the valuable external perspective you gain from direct experiences and experimentation. As opposed to insight, outsight will then help change the way you think as a leader: about what kind of work is important; how you should invest your time; why and which relationships matter in informing and supporting your leadership; and, ultimately, who you want to become.

Packed with self-assessments and practical advice to help define your most pressing leadership challenges, this book will help you devise a plan of action to become a better leader and move your career to the next level. It’s time to learn by doing.

读后感

一天，二师兄和三师弟秘密谈话。八戒觉得最近一段时间以来他们的师父可能被换了。 这话吓得沙僧不轻，忙问理由。八戒分析说，最近咱们的师父能力太强了。他比猴哥还能打，比你还水性好，比我还能套关系，这一定不是我们的师父。 沙僧回想起来，还真是如此，最近师父格外要强，...  

我有过一件非常喜欢的上衣，上面用英文印着一段话：If you want something you never had, You have to do something you’ve never done. 翻译过来就是：如果你想拥有你不曾拥有的，你就要去做你不曾做过的。其中每句IF和You印的很大，远处看来特别显眼。我太爱这句话了，在专...
