亂,但是更好—— .爵士樂大師Keith Jarrett的顛峰之作,竟來自一架琴鍵有問題、踏板卡住、音不準的鋼琴 .MIT的20號館看起來實在亂七八糟,有如迷宮般,但它不僅是黑客發源地,還孕育出多位諾貝爾獎得主和新科技先驅 .哈佛研究發現,團隊成員愈同質愈容易卡在同一處,自我感覺太良好,實際績效卻很差;但一個令人尷尬的陌生人就能讓團隊更易突破困境,表現更優異 .Amazon、Google與許多一再成功者有個共通點,正是亂中取勝…… 但,為什麼你我都特別害怕混亂? 不管遇到計畫變更、不同意見的人,或是突發事件,任何形式的亂都讓我們驚慌失措。 《金融時報》專欄作家哈福特從心理學、社會學、經濟學及腦科學研究發現: 我們一遇亂,直覺反應就是趕快整理;我們的大腦會想盡辦法把這些混亂整理成我們所知道、熟悉或任何讓我們感到舒服的形式。 但如此一來,反而讓我們更看不清事情真正樣貌,也因此錯失人生中的許多機會。遇亂就想逃,是本能反應,卻往往是錯的。 **跳脫舒適圈,才能把握意外! ** 我們渴求的成功常建築在混亂的基礎上,只是這樣的契機,不是一眼可看穿。 本書每一章都針對一種亂象,讓你知道何以亂也能激發創意、生出韌性。 下次當你又想要「撥亂反正」,回到那個一切盡在掌控中的熟悉世界時,告訴自己:正視亂的優點,管它什麼調,跟上來就行了! 如果你能應付混亂,就沒有什麼不能應付的了! 從亂中求勝,必須練習—— .「把握意外」,即使一手爛牌,也能玩轉人生 .「包容不一樣的人」,距離遠的弱連結,比同溫層給你更多 .「接受隨機衝撞」,比按計畫行事,更能把事做成、做大 .「對內有黏著力、對外有橋接力」,冠軍團隊最器重這種人才 .「力用工餘」,人生無限寬廣,一生只做對一件事太可惜 .「擴展視野」,確保邊際效益遞增,小心太專注反而效益遞減 TED演說影片:How...
