A powerful manifesto for CEOs and employees alike: Influential and award-winning business leader Margaret Heffernan reveals how organizations can build ideal workplace cultures and create seismic shifts by making deceptively small changes.

By implementing sweeping changes, businesses often think it’s possible to do better, to earn more, and have happier employees. So why does engagement prove so difficult and productivity so elusive?

In Beyond Measure, Margaret Heffernan looks back over her decades spent overseeing different organizations and comes to a counterintuitive conclusion: it’s the small shifts that have the greatest impact. Heffernan argues that building the strongest organization can be accelerated by implementing seemingly small changes, such as embracing conflict as a creative catalyst; using every mind on the team; celebrating mistakes; speaking up and listening more; and encouraging time off from work.

Packed with incredible anecdotes and startling statistics, Beyond Measure takes us on a fascinating tour across the globe, highlighting disparate businesses and revealing how they’ve managed to change themselves in big ways through incremental shifts. How did the CIA revolutionize their intelligence gathering with one simple question? How did one organization increase their revenue by $15 million by instituting a short coffee break? How can a day-long hackathon change the culture of a company? Told with wry wit and knowing humor, Heffernan proves that it’s often the small changes that make the greatest, most lasting impact.

咨询一下亚马逊，TED books 的kindle版什么时候再打折！！

The company I work for is in the process of trying to make a cultural shift to place more emphasis on creative and new processes. I have been working on one of these and I had recently had a disagreement with the owner on the direction i should take with my project. I spent weeks hiding my work and myself from him afraid of the confrontation that would result if he found out that I had chosen my own path. In the past I have done this and find that as long as hit the goal and get the desired results he would approve. I just have to get done before he finds out. This book highlighted for me, as someone who typically avoids conflict, by doing this I was creating a silo of myself, not getting the best ideas I could and cutting out the owner's input out of fear. This naturally would lead to anger from him if things did not work out because I denied him the opportunity to influence. At the same time his approach denied me the opportunity to influence him. Lots of things to work through myself as a result of this read. Some good tips as well.

"Beyond Measures" delivers an easy to read, authentic and passionate view on leadership and work culture. The content is relevant and insightful and helped to re-energize my views about leading people. More importantly, I appreciate the authors disclaimers that leading organizations is a difficult and fluid process. She adds that no "system" or "7 step process" will apply universally to all organizational needs. Like any other book on leadership, the intent is to help us develop the tools to successfully lead our companies.
