Unfolding Curiosity: Wrinkles and Surprises from Business and Beyond - Tapa blanda

Unfolding Curiosity: Wrinkles and Surprises from Business and Beyond is a collection of quick reads that look at the “usual” with a slant. For relentlessly curious people, the idea that we can learn from fields far beyond their own disciplines is normal, to be expected. If you are one of those people - or want to be - you’ll find a roadmap in this book. Many examples show how much of what we read, hear, experience or feel that is not directly connected to our work may offer a surprise or wrinkle on something we think we know. That, in turn, can help us learn. Unfolding Curiosity finds new ways to look at the world to give organization leaders ideas from unexpected sources - from sumo wrestlers and zoos, to foresters and river rafting guides. And much more. Take the plunge and learn something new today.
