Most of the book was good advice on thought processes for better knowledge and understanding psychologically. The end fizzled out for me. I will definitely copy the 30 action points for impact at the end to make notes. Biggest takeaway was the section on persuasive listening. The learning organization had some good ideas, but didn't seem as well thought out and written. You know those meetings where you think, this could have been an email, or even a fair sized sticky note? I have something similar for books where I sometimes think, “this could have been an article”. This book falls squarely into that category for me. There were certainly a few valuable insights but overall I just got the impression that the author was trying his level best to fill up space. Fait l'objet d'une adaptation dansListes notables
Quand avez-vous change? d'avis pour la dernie?re fois? Cela ne marchera jamais! C'est trop complique?! C'est comme c?a qu'on a toujours fait! Alors que nous e?voluons dans un monde en mouvement permanent, que nous passons notre temps a? remplacer nos biens mate?riels par de plus performants, pourquoi restons-nous si souvent campe?s sur nos positions? C'est que nous trouvons refuge dans le confort de nos convictions, nous nous entourons de personnes qui partagent nos ide?es et fuyons a? tout prix la contradiction. Pour Adam Grant, c'est la? une grave erreur. Au moyen de nombreux exemples et en puisant dans les dernie?res avance?es des sciences cognitives, il de?montre que l'aptitude a? renouveler notre pense?e est de?terminante pour atteindre a? la fois l'excellence et la sagesse. Nous avons tous la capacite? d'apprendre a? mettre a? l'e?preuve nos convictions, a? tester nos ide?es, a? soutenir la contradiction et a? cultiver les bienfaits du doute. Ayons le courage de nous forger une pense?e flexible, c'est la cle? de la re?ussite. Car l'innovation et le progre?s demeurent du co?te? de ceux qui savent repenser. Dans un monde pe?tri de certitudes, le livre d'Adam Grant n'est pas simplement utile, mais indispensable! - The Financial Times -- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The book reveals some interesting ideas, some more original than others. The book also gives direction for a more “scientific” apporach involving reviewing ideas all the time to establish what is good knowledge.
But there is a big problem which underlies the whole text that stopped me from taking it seriously which is that some fundamentals of scientific method are not applies in the actual knowledge presented by the book. The author says we should be ready to update our ideas based on evidence but then presents views dogmatically, without trying to illustrate counter examples, without looking at the statistics underlying this knowledge, without trying to explain to what extent these ideas are true…
Ultimately the author assumes the reader is in a fairly narrow socio-cultural-economic space. The author is talking to big companies, successful people, working on problems that are quite niche. How would this translate to a broader world population I cannot see, and if it doesn’t could it be the basic of knowledge here is not set up correctly?
I found the book very useful as an example of how well meaning scientific knowledge is presented devoid of the tools that give science the power to actually create consensus.
Very likely all these problems were part of the process of the author’s engagement with publishers and their concers of how accessible the text would be. The end chapters give a picture of how invasive publishers can be.
