Useful for a different perspective and to stimulate thought but not really very insightful or of limited practical value. I did however enjoy the book so it depends if you want to rate it for the enjoyment of the experience or for gaining useful insights. As a reading experience it is 3.5 stars - for the impression the title conveys - only 3 stars ( ) Of the 5 ways the author noted that people get insights - connection, coincidences, curiosities, contradictions and creative desperation - only connection, coincidences and curiosities can be actively nurtured. While the book focused on how organizations can provide an environment that encourages insightful thinking from their members, I think what is missing in this book is a chapter on how to increase the chances of getting an eureka moment for the creative individual. Okay, but not great. The biggest take-aways for me were captured in a couple of the few figures in the book: the visual formula with the up and down arrows (the former being increasing insights, the latter being decreasing errors and uncertainty) and the chart depicting the Three-Path Model (with the contradiction path, the connection path, and the creative desperation path). I'd like to see more in the future about constructive approaches to generating more insights. The author only seemed to give lukewarm effort in this area, seeming to feel that there were too many obstacles to success. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:Insights??like Darwin??s understanding of the way evolution actually works, and Watson and Crick??s breakthrough discoveries about the structure of DNA??can change the world. We also need insights into the everyday things that frustrate and confuse us so that we can more effectively solve problems and get things done. Yet we know very little about when, why, or how insights are formed??or what blocks them. In Seeing What Others Don??t, renowned cognitive psychologist Gary Klein unravels the mystery. Klein is a keen observer of people in their natural settings??scientists, businesspeople, firefighters, police officers, soldiers, family members, friends, himself??and uses a marvelous variety of stories to illuminate his research into what insights are and how they happen. What, for example, enabled Harry Markopolos to put the finger on Bernie Madoff? How did Dr. Michael Gottlieb make the connections between different patients that allowed him to publish the first announcement of the AIDS epidemic? What did Admiral Yamamoto see (and what did the Americans miss) in a 1940 British attack on the Italian fleet that enabled him to develop the strategy of attack at Pearl Harbor? How did a ??smokejumper? see that setting another fire would save his life, while those who ignored his insight perished? How did Martin Chalfie come up with a million-dollar idea (and a Nobel Prize) for a natural flashlight that enabled researchers to look inside living organisms to watch biological processes in action? Klein also dissects impediments to insight, such as when organizations claim to value employee creativity and to encourage breakthroughs but in reality block disruptive ideas and prioritize avoidance of mistakes. Or when information technology systems are ??dumb by design? and block potential discoveries. Both scientifically sophisticated and fun to read, Seeing What Others Don??t shows that insight is not just a ??eureka!? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
