Good Judgment: Making Better Business Decisions with the Science of Human Personality
明智洞察:以人格科學做出更好的商業決策
內容介紹
- 來自組織心理學家理查·大衛斯博士(Richard Davis, PhD)的獨特指南。
- 教用人格科學閱讀和理解人們,做出更好的商業決策,包括選擇合適的員工、在工作場所建立關係、更有效地解決衝突,以及優化工作表現。
心理學家普遍認為,五個關鍵特質定義了我們的個性——智力、情感、社交性、動力和勤奮。與情緒不同,這些特質決定了我們的行為,包括我們的動機、社交傾向、對危機或複雜情況的反應、思維模式等等。
組織心理學家理查·大衛斯博士是評估個性的專家。他幾十年來一直為商界領袖提供建議,並為許多全球大公司的高管評估,包括Amazon, Target, Best Buy, Under Armour, Meta, Starbucks, Nike, LV和NBA。在他的職業生涯中,他幫助了眾多高管基於人格做出了艱難而極具影響力的招聘決策。一個公司的董事會可能希望下一任CEO具有果斷、專注和出色的溝通能力。支援初創公司的投資者可能希望領導者不僅是一個有遠見的人,還是一個團隊合作者,在得到建設性回饋時不會被反傷。由於他的畢生工作,大衛斯博士不僅形成了對人類個性的獨特看法,還開發了分析人格並有效利用資訊的必不可少的工具包。
在《明智洞察》中,他將他的專業知識帶給讀者。大衛斯博士解釋了什麼是人格科學以及它的工作原理,以及我們所有人如何利用它來改善我們的工作關係、職業生涯和生活。無論您是一名新手經理,想要雇用您的第一個助手,還是一個需要理想CEO的董事會成員,一名天使投資者嘗試在兩家不同的初創公司之間做出選擇,還是一個新父母在選擇兒科醫生,此書都能幫助讀者瞭解人格科學以及如何運用它來行使良好判斷力——在工作和生活中。
