网友对The Pause Principle: Step Back to Lead Forward的评论
Before buying a book, it is natural to want to know what other people think. This information-gathering act gives you more information about the product you are buying and what other people think of it. You can then make an informed decision on whether you want to take your valuable to time read it.
We do this for books, but how often, in other facets of life and business do we rush into things before thinking them through? According to Kevin Cashman, all too often. That is why he wrote this brilliant book, the Pause Principle. In it, Cashman articulately and persuasively makes the case that to make the most out of our leadership, we need to take a step back to gain perspective and clarity.
I've had the privilege to have access to an early version of The Pause Principle. I've already put into practice many of Cashman's ideas, and I must say I am very happy with the results. A number of times over the past several weeks, I have invoked that simple but powerful word: "pause." Once I say it (sometimes to myself, sometimes in the presence of others), a new thought pattern or conversation emerges, one that brings additional considerations to the decision at hand. Not only am I making better decisions, but I also feel more confident because I've taken the time to get it right.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to take their leadership to the next level.
I have worked with Kevin closely at Korn Ferry, during that period he describes in his book when his firm was being absorbed into Korn Ferry. What I have said to Kevin is that one learns a lot about individuals when they are going through their own personal crucibles. Kevin displayed incredible grace and composure during this period of his life and now I know why: He was acting out what he talks about in his book. I have further said to Kevin that I see great convergence out there in all disciplines around this thing called mindfulness, of which I view "pause" as almost synonymous. I see it in my work with senior executives. My wife who is a child psychologist employs it everyday in her practice with children. We see it referred to in the pulpits. All this is happening for a reason, and I believe it is because this is the only way forward in our very busy world. Congratulations, Kevin on nursing this for ten or so years and then getting it out there-your work is so needed.
Kevin Cashman, a seasoned scholar of executives and leadership behavior, has made an important mark in his latest book, The Pause Principle. While there are a lot of business books on the shelves today making organizational analogies to everything from cheese and carrots to circuses and Shackleton, The Pause Principle seems to come from deeper roots in truth and his astute observation of human experience. He reminds us that the second law of thermodynamics even shows that as activity lessens, order increases. Kevin gives us clear guidelines and models on how to develop Three Domains of Growth: Growing Ourselves, Growing Others and Growing Innovative Cultures in our organizations. His call to us goes beyond giving permission for us to slow down, to pause and step back from the epidemic of busyness in our business lives, to seek inner and higher counsel before we make big decisions...he cautions us to be more aware of what happens when we don't.
This book is a resource that I use daily in my coaching and mindful practice. Cashman gets to the core of all purposeful leadership. This is a must read book not only because he shares his well-developed and proven, successful process as well as many research findings. His client stories and their insights are transformative. Even though I've had a mindful practice for almost 30 years I learned so much. Thank you, Kevin for doing you work, practicing it and teaching others. Pausing and felling grateful, Anne Pryor
Easy to read. Profound reflection to balance between intense strategic thinking, relentless execution, and pause to grow as a leader.
The inspiration you need to get to the next level.
