Reseña del libro "Imagination@Work: Shifting Boundaries in the Modern Workplace (en Inglés)"
Imagine a workplace where your imagination mattered -- where creativity, innovation, interpersonal connection and diversity of thought were not only incorporated into day-to-day operations but were the driving forces behind profitable growth and meaningful impact. Contemporary HR professionals and business leaders are beginning to understand the importance of opening their minds and shifting the boundaries of the modern workplace to unlock potential and maximize performance. This unique and powerful book explores the vast spectrum of imaginative ways to lead, learn, innovate, discover, create and achieve in any industry and in any role. Imagination@Work is the fourth volume in the Silver Tree Publishing @Work Series -- it is a unique collection of insights from business leaders, many HR and OD experts, about new ways to imagine what is possible at work, on teams and in our own careers. Practical Tips and Inspiring Stories About What Your Organization NeedsIn his foreword for Imagination@Work, executive coach and professional speaker Jeff Nally suggests that "we're in an imagination-dampening culture" - that companies are increasingly focused on efficiency, hierarchy, and the adherence to boundaries, all of which can restrict our ability to spark the kind of business breakthroughs and cultural revolutions that start with imagination. This book, penned by five renowned leaders, explores the big issues that really move the needle in modern, competitive companies.
