I am a strategy consultant and business professor - and a Dean for 15 years. My passion is exploring mysteries related to the ways we think about or model our world. I've looked, for example, for common patterns in the way successful leaders tackle difficult 'either/or' dilemmas. I've explored how it is that corporations drive out innovation - even as they desperately seek it. I've examined the way in which theories that are meant to help corporations achieve financial goals and make shareholders rich actually produce the opposite. Most recently, I have explored how we conceptualize strategy influence the way we do or do not create useful ways to guide an organization's actions. In each of my books, I attempt to understand a particular way in which our thinking can get in our own way, and provide specific advice for addressing that challenge.

If you want to be as successful as Jack Welch, Larry Bossidy, or Michael Dell, read their autobiographical advice books, right? Wrong, says Roger Martin in "The Opposable Mind." Though following "best practice" can help in some ways, it also poses a danger: By emulating what a great leader did in a particular situation, you'll likely be terribly disappointed with your own results. Why? Your situation is different. Instead of focusing on what exceptional leaders do, we need to understand and emulate how they think. Successful businesspeople engage in what Martin calls integrative thinking--creatively resolving the tension in opposing models by forming entirely new and superior ones. Drawing on stories of leaders as diverse as AG Lafley of Procter & Gamble, Meg Whitman of eBay, Victoria Hale of the Institute for One World Health, and Nandan Nilekani of Infosys, Martin shows how integrative thinkers are relentlessly diagnosing and synthesizing by asking probing questions--including "What are the causal relationships at work here?" and "What are the implied trade-offs?" Martin also presents a model for strengthening your integrative thinking skills by drawing on different kinds of knowledge--including conceptual and experiential knowledge. Integrative thinking can be learned, and "The Opposable Mind" helps you master this vital skill.

購置瞭哈佛係列的一套,這冊雖然薄一些,但讀起來真實不容易,因為與固有的思維模式産生瞭激烈碰撞。 在讀前半部的時候,我還在糾結於自身對領導力的看法,主要是決策層麵。因此我在讀書隨筆中列舉瞭以下內容: 1、決策核心是什麼。 2、行業本質是什麼。 3、優勢是什麼。 其...
評分世界是復雜的,我們往往將復雜的問題分解成各個子問題,對子問題各個擊破達到對整個問題的解決,從經驗來看解決20%的子問題就可以達到80%的效果。但是,正因為世界是復雜的,子問題之間會互相影響,局部最優解往往不是全局最優解。所以,我們需要整閤思維。 遇到一個問題,不要...

以前一直覺著這種書隻講兩件事 一件是廢話 一件還是廢話 這本兒微微撥亂反正瞭下兒我的無知 兩件事中 還是能做到隻有一件是廢話的 尤其在動蕩的這周 今兒讀的P73-138很有特彆意義 感謝它 (written on 1/18)
評分The ideas in the book are not fresh and attractive, but for some chapters I really like the explicit way how the author explain the ideas and their links.
評分Work hard, think hard, and don’t dawdle. The world needs you. 有沒有人統計過書籍的最後一章的有用程度啊?或者書籍有用章節分布?。。。
評分囉裏八嗦的廢話...
