The author makes a big deal out of the fact he is not making money off of sales of the book. The book has a valuable concept but it could have been explained in a few paragraphs. The excess begins to be annoying and comes across as hype. I would not pay anything for his book, so his profit is appropriate. ( ) Essays from 33 business gurus about how to stand out and be remarkable. The contributions are short - you won't find in-depth thinking here. But the messages about the importance of thinking big, failing early, and refusing to settle are, at the least, good reminders for people who want to make an impact. One of my favorites selections offered juggling as a metaphor for work. Beginning jugglers spend a lot of time rushing around trying to catch the balls, but experienced jugglers will tell you that it is the throwing that is most important. If you throw effectively, catching will be easy. Rushing around chasing balls sounds a lot like what I do at work most days. The idea that I might be able to stop that by setting some priorities and focusing on the important isn't new to me. But the juggling metaphor made it fresh. I listened to this on audio, and it worked pretty well that way. It would also be a good book just to dip into from time to time. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Most organizations are stuck in a rut. On one hand, they understand all the good things that will come with growth. On the other, they're petrified that growth means change, and change means risk, and risk means death. Nobody wants to screw up and ruin a good thing, so most companies (and individuals) just keep trying to be perfect at the things they've always done. In 2003, Seth Godin's Purple Cow challenged organizations to become remarkable-to drive growth by standing out in a world full of brown cows. It struck a huge chord and stayed on the Business Week bestseller list for nearly two years. You can hear countless brainstorming meetings where people refer to purple cows and say things like, "That's not good enough. We need to create a big moo!" But how do you create a big moo-an insight so astounding that people can't help but remark on it, like digital TV recording (TiVo) or overnight shipping (FedEx), or the world's best vacuum cleaner (Dyson)? Godin worked with thirty-two of the world's smartest thinkers to answer this critical question. And the team-with the likes of Tom Peters, Malcolm Gladwell, Guy Kawasaki, Mark Cuban, Robyn Waters, Dave Balter, Red Maxwell, and Randall Rothenberg on board- created an incredibly useful book that's fun to read and perfect for groups to share, discuss, and apply. The Big Moo is a simple book in the tradition of Fish and Don't Sweat the Small Stuff. Instead of lecturing you, it tells stories that stick to your ribs and light your fire. It will help you to create a culture that consistently delivers remarkable innovations. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
