The Myths of Creativity
How to get past the most common myths about creativity to design truly innovative strategies We tend to think of creativity in terms reminiscent of the ancient muses: divinely-inspired, unpredictable, and bestowed upon a lucky few. But when our jobs challenge us to be creative on demand, we must develop novel, useful ideas that will keep our organizations competitive. The Myths of Creativity demystifies the processes that drive innovation. Based on the latest research into how creative individuals and firms succeed, David Burkus highlights the mistaken ideas that hold us back and shows us how anyone can embrace a practical approach, grounded in reality, to finding the best new ideas, project...
Under New Management
Nearly 70 per cent of employees in the UK aren't performing at their full potential.

Friend Of A Friend . . .
What if all the advice we’ve heard about networking is wrong? What if the best way to grow your network isn’t by introducing yourself to strangers at cocktail parties, handing out business cards, or signing up for the latest online tool, but by developing a better understanding of the existing network that’s already around you? We know that it’s essential to reach out and build a network. But did you know that it’s actually your distant or former contacts who will be the most helpful to you? Or that many of our best efforts at meeting new people simply serve up the same old opportunities we already have? In this startling new look at the art and science of networking, business school professor David Burkus digs deep to find the unexpected secrets that reveal the best ways to grow your career. Based on entertaining case studies and scientific research, this practical and revelatory guide shares what the best networkers really do. Forget the outdated advice you’ve already heard. Learn how to make use of the hidden networks you already have.

Summary of David Burkus's Friend Of A Friend . . .
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Our closest friends are not our biggest assets when it comes to opportunity. Our biggest opportunities and best sources of new information come from our weak ties, or connections with people we don’t see often or haven’t spoken to in a long time. #2 The Fertittas, who had bought the UFC, continued to put more effort and money into it. In 2004, they gambled even bigger by pitching a show where aspiring young fighters were shown living and training together, all while competing for a contract with the UFC. #3 The UFC was a success almost from the start, and it quickly increased the fan base for mixed martial arts. It also made Dana White into a television star. #4 Our tendency is to seek out trusted, familiar counsel when we are faced with a difficult situation. But when we need new job advice, we typically go straight to our strong ties, who are often connected to each other and share information.

Summary of David Burkus's Under New Management
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The CEO of the France-based technology company Atos SE, Thierry Breton, announced that he was banning email. In three years’ time, he wanted Atos to be an email-zero company. He believed that the volume of emails was polluting his employees’ working environments and their personal lives. #2 Atos, a French company, tried to eliminate email usage in order to improve collaboration. They bought another software firm called BlueKiwi and used its technology to build their own social network for the entire enterprise. #3 Many leaders, including Thierry Breton, Phil Libin, and Jay Simons, have banned email to help their employees stay productive and stress-free. #4 The experiment showed that employees were more focused and less stressed when they couldn’t use email. They noticed this effect, and consistently reported feeling more relaxed and focused, as well as more productive, when their email was shut off.
