„Fróðlegur leiðarvísir um hvernig gera má teymi að meiru en summu einstaklinganna sem þau skipa. Nauðsynleg lesning fyrir skapandi fólk, frumkvöðla og leiðtoga.“ — Daniel H. Pink, höfundur metsölubókanna Drive og The Power of Regret, sem náðu fyrsta sæti á metsölulista New York Times. Þetta er heildstæður leiðarvísir um hin óvæntu vísindi að baki hópvirkni og ómissandi rit fyrir þá sem vilja byggja upp afkastamikil teymi, samfélög og stofnanir. Hvers vegna eru hópar svona flóknir? Allt frá leiðinlegum vinnufundum og fjölskyldum þar sem samskipti ganga illa til stríðandi þjóða mótar hópvirkni alla þætti lífs okkar.
Hvernig getum við forðast algengar gryfjur þess að búa og starfa saman og fengið sem mest út úr hópunum okkar? Lausnin felst ekki í því að breyta einstaklingunum, heldur að skilja heiminn út frá sjónarhorni heildarinnar. Í The Collective Edge dregur Colin Fisher, einn fremsti sérfræðingur heims í hópvirkni, saman áratuga rannsóknir í hagnýtar aðferðir sem hjálpa hópum að ná sem bestum árangri. Með dæmisögum af milljarðafyrirtækjum, litlum sérhæfðum hönnunarstofum, framúrskarandi körfuboltaliðum og illmennum úr Star Trek sýnir Fisher hvernig hægt er að keppa án þess að valda skaðlegum ágreiningi innan hópa, hvers vegna þrýstingur til að fylgja hópnum getur stundum verið jákvæður og hvers vegna árangursrík forysta hópa byggist oft frekar á skýrri uppbyggingu og skipulagi en hvatningarræðum.
“An eye-opening guide to making teams more than the sum of their individual parts. Essential reading for creators, builders, and leaders. ” —Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Drive and The Power of Regret The definitive guide to the surprising science of group dynamics, and the ultimate resource for building high-performing teams, communities, and organizations Why are groups so hard? From boring work meetings to dysfunctional families to warring nations, group dynamics shape every aspect of our lives.
How can we avoid the common pitfalls of living and working together and get the most from our groups? The solution isn’t to change individuals—it’s to understand the world from a collective perspective. In The Collective Edge, Colin Fisher, one of the world’s foremost experts on group dynamics, distills decades of research into practical strategies to help groups function at their highest levels. Through case studies from billion-dollar companies, boutique design firms, great basketball teams, and Star Trek villains, Fisher reveals how to compete without dysfunctional conflict within groups, why conformity pressure can sometimes be positive, and why effective group leadership often comes down to structure and organization instead of motivational speeches.
