商品描述
Drawing inspiration from quantum physics, innovative management thinker Danah Zohar offers a powerful new model for business thinking and practice. "Quantum leaders," she says, like the systems they have to manage, are poised at "the edge of chaos." They thrive on the potential latent in uncertainty and are adept at unleashing the creativity of self-organization. More important, they are vision- and value-led; they adapt quickly, are unafraid to play with the boundaries and reinvent the rules, and celebrate diversity.
Zohar points out that the existing, business-as-usual paradigm owes a great deal to the outdated thinking, assumptions, and values of Newtonian science, which gave rise to the Industrial Revolution. Newtonian thinking assumes that corporations and markets are like machines--predictable, stable, and controllable; they are best managed in a way that eliminates risk and assures equilibrium. Unfortunately, as the global financial collapse of 2008 demonstrated, this way of thinking is as obsolete as the steam engine.
Further developing ideas she introduced in her acclaimed
Rewiring the Corporate Brain and
Spiritual Capital, Zohar has written an inspirational book that will motivate leaders to tap the full potential of their employees, their businesses, and the customers they serve.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
從量子物理中汲取靈感,創新管理思想家丹娜·佐哈(Danah Zohar)提供了一個強大的商業思考與實踐新模型。她表示,「量子領導者」就像他們必須管理的系統一樣,處於「混沌的邊緣」。他們在不確定性中潛藏的潛力中茁壯成長,並擅長釋放自我組織的創造力。更重要的是,他們以願景和價值為導向;他們快速適應,無懼於挑戰邊界和重新定義規則,並慶祝多樣性。
佐哈指出,現有的商業常規範式在很大程度上源於牛頓科學的過時思維、假設和價值觀,這些觀念促成了工業革命。牛頓思維假設企業和市場就像機器一樣——可預測、穩定且可控;最佳的管理方式是消除風險並確保平衡。不幸的是,正如2008年全球金融崩潰所示,這種思維方式與蒸汽機一樣過時。
進一步發展她在廣受好評的《重塑企業大腦》(Rewiring the Corporate Brain)和《精神資本》(Spiritual Capital)中提出的理念,佐哈撰寫了一本鼓舞人心的書籍,將激勵領導者充分發揮員工、企業及其服務的客戶的潛力。
