Abstract

A more effective leadership model for the new business environment. Spiral Dynamics in Action explores the evolution of modern business, and provides a model for moving forward amidst ever-increasing complexity and change. Only by truly understanding other people's perspectives can you bring them together to achieve the extraordinary, and this book provides a field guide to the different motivations, behaviours and talents in your team to help you lead diverse groups more effectively. Focused on action over theory, the Spiral Dynamics model includes cutting-edge leadership practices, management systems, processes, procedures and techniques to help you bring about real-world results. The nature of change is consistent, but that doesn't make it any less enormous or complex to deal with. As a business leader, you are tasked with not only navigating change yourself, but also guiding others through the maze successfully. This book shows you how to shift your perspective, hone your focus and deliver what your people need by: Understanding the reasoning behind different perspectives. Helping people play off one another's strengths to achieve a shared goal. Adopting cutting-edge practices, processes and procedures for improvement. Taking action to re-connect an increasingly fragmented environment. The marketplace has gone truly global, workforces are increasingly diverse and companies are taking on powerful new social responsibilities. It's a lot to take in, let alone manage, but the responsibility of leadership is to gather disparate parts and make them into a whole. It's your job to turn anchors into rocket fuel, and motivate and inspire your team to the top. By digging to the core of each person, each culture and each problem, you uncover a roadmap to high performance; Spiral Dynamics in Action shows you how to guide your people through any changes and emerge stronger than before.

Abstract

This book explores the question of whether and how meme theory or “memetics” can be fruitfully utilized in evolutionary economics and proposes an approach known as “economemetics” which is a combination of meme theory and complexity theory that has the potential to combat the fragmentation of evolutionary economics while re-connecting the field with cultural evolutionary theory. By studying the intersection of cultural and economic evolution, complexity economics, computational economics, and network science, the authors establish a connection between memetics and evolutionary economics at different levels of investigation. The book first demonstrates how a memetic approach to economic evolution can help to reveal links and build bridges between different but complementary concepts in evolutionary economics. Secondly, it shows how organizational memetics can help to capture the complexity of organizational culture using meme mapping. Thirdly, it presents an agent-based simulation model of knowledge diffusion and assimilation in innovation networks from a memetic perspective. The authors then use agent-based modeling and social network analysis to evaluate the diffusion pattern of the Ice Bucket Challenge as an example of a “viral meme.” Lastly, the book discusses the central issues of agency, creativity, and normativity in the context of economemetics and suggests promising avenues for further research. .

Abstract

Mark Twain once observed, "A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get its boots on." His observation rings true: Urban legends, conspiracy theories, and bogus public-health scares circulate effortlessly. Meanwhile, people with important ideas?business people, teachers, politicians, journalists, and others?struggle to make their ideas "stick."Why do some ideas thrive while others die? And how do we improve the chances of worthy ideas? In Made to Stick, accomplished educators and idea collectors Chip and Dan Heath tackle head-on these vexing questions. Inside, the brothers Heath reveal the anatomy of ideas that stick and explain ways to make ideas stickier, such as applying the "human scale principle," using the "Velcro Theory of Memory," and creating "curiosity gaps."In this indispensable guide, we discover that sticky messages of all kinds?from the infamous "kidney theft ring" hoax to a coach's lessons on sportsmanship to a vision for a new product at Sony?draw their power from the same six traits.Made to Stick is a book that will transform the way you communicate ideas. It's a fast-paced tour of success stories (and failures)?the Nobel Prize-winning scientist who drank a glass of bacteria to prove a point about stomach ulcers; the charities who make use of "the Mother Teresa Effect"; the elementary-school teacher whose simulation actually prevented racial prejudice. Provocative, eye-opening, and often surprisingly funny, Made to Stick shows us the vital principles of winningideas?and tells us how we can apply these rules to making our own messages stick.Onderstaande tekst is vertaald vanuit de originele taalMark Twain schreef ooit: "een leugen kan rond de wereld reizen terwijl de waarheid nog bezig is zijn schoenen aan te trekken." Zijn observatie klopt: stadslegendes, complottheorieën en onzinverhalen over de gezondheid vieren hoogtij, terwijl mensen met belangrijke ideeën ? zakenmensen, docenten, politici, journalisten en anderen ? worstelen hun boodschap te verkondigen.Waarom zijn sommige ideeën succesvol en anderen niet? En hoe verbeteren we de kansen van goede ideeën? In Made to Stick behandelen de bekende onderwijzers en ideeënverzamelaars Chip en Dan Heath deze lastige vraagstukken. In dit boek onthullen de gebroeders Heath de anatomie van ideeën die blijven hangen en leggen uit hoe je ideeën hangbaarder kunt maken, zoals met het "principe van de menselijke schaal," met de "Klittenbandtheorie van het Geheugen," en door "nieuwsgierigheidsgaten" te scheppen.In deze onmisbare gids ontdekken we dat de verschillende soorten berichten die blijven hangen ? van de beruchte truc met de ring van de gestolen nier tot de lessen van een coach over sportiviteit tot een visie voor een nieuw product van Sony ? allemaal hun kracht halen uit dezelfde zes eigenschappen.Made to Stick is een boek dat de manier waarop je ideeën overlegt, zal transformeren. Het is een vlotte tour van succesverhalen (en mislukkingen) ? de wetenschapper met een Nobelprijs die een glas bacteriën leegdronk om zijn punt te bewijzen over maagzweren; de goede doelen die gebruik maken van het "Moeder Teresa-effect"; de basisschoolleraar die rassenongelijkheid voorkwam. Made to Stick, provocatief, openbarend en vaak verrassend grappig, toont ons de belangrijke principes van succesvolle ideeën ? en vertelt ons hoe we ze kunnen toepassen om ervoor te zorgen dat onze eigen berichten blijven hangen.
