A menu of management ideas and advice guaranteed not to upset your stomach.

“Shall we get together for dim sum? Tapas? Sushi? Meze?” Many cultures, it seems, have the same concept: a range of dishes offered in small helpings, each with its individual tate, which taken as a whole make a substantial meal.

This book, by a world-renowned business psychologist, offers 80 concise bites of management advice and wisdom. Just like the Chinese dim sum dishes, each of the 80 chapters is different in content, but ultimately complement each other. Moreover, dim sum is a nourishing meal due to its variety. In the same way, amangers need to be exposed to a variety of ideas, techniques and processes in order to handle the ever-changing work environment. Too much of anything is bad for you. Just as dim sum rejoices in variety and balance, this book argues the same must be true for managers in their approach to business.

Le Score:

Vous aurez remarqué que la fiche de chaque livre contient un nombre baptisé SCORE.

De quoi s'agit-il?

Il s'agit d'une évaluation communautaire de chaque livre calculée sur une échelle de 0 à 100.

Cette évaluation repose sur une agrégation de diverses quantités qui reflètent la vie de chaque livre au sein de la communauté ScholarVox. Cette vie s'exprime en fréquence de lecture, nombre d'étagères publiques, privées, professorales dans lesquelles le livre est présent.

Un calcul "propriétaire" mélangeant ces quantités vous restitue sous la forme synthétique d'un Score l'intelligence collective incorporée dans chaque livre. Ce Score n'est pas une note scolaire, c'est bien plus un indicateur de l'aura collective du livre.

Car, pour paraphraser Robert Parker, expert ès-notation des vins, " ...there can never be any substitute for your own reading palate nor any better education than reading the book yourself."
