The Next IQ
Author: Arin N. Reeves
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781733064743
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
This groundbreaking new book will introduce you to new ways of thinking about leadership and inclusion in the workplace through an integrated exploration of research studies, stories, learning experiences, and tested solutions. In it, you'll discover how to make individual and collective intelligence more intelligent by changing the way you, and your organization, thinks. The world-changing events of the last few years -- from the use of social media in the protests in Egypt and the hair-trigger volatility in the global financial markets, to the natural disasters in Japan-- have illustrated how the world has become inextricably interconnected. This interconnectedness has changed the ways in which we respond and react, but it must also change the ways in which we think so that we can lead proactively and not reactively. The Next IQ: The Next Level of Intelligence for 21st Century Leaders illustrates this change in the way we think -- from the transformation of leadership from being rooted in individual expertise to being formed from multiple and diverse perspectives. It's the start of a conversation on how we need to think, learn, and lead in this new millennium. If you want to take your organization to the next level of intelligence that you'll need in order to think, learn, and compete in the increasingly seamless global marketplace of the 21st century, then this book is an essential addition to your library. With this accessible and innovative book you can make your business, firm, or organization more intelligent for the way the world works today. "Arin brilliantly challenges us to view intelligence and its potential for a competitive edge in a new way. Her fresh perspective, THE NEXT IQ, is simple and compelling, and essential for learning and leading in a global environment." Ruth Ann Gillis - Executive Vice President & Chief Administrative Officer, Exelon Corporation "...a must read for any CEO or CLO of a multi-national corporation...Dr. Reeves artfully balances intuition, empirical data and pragmatism to make a compelling case for the need of today's leaders to embrace a radically different mindset and approach to leading..." Thomas L. Sager - Senior Vice President and General Counsel DuPont Legal "The Next IQ explains why today's leaders must change the way they think about intelligence, leadership and inclusion in order to succeed in the 21st century." Michael C. Connelly - Senior Vice President, Strategy and Planning Xcel Energy "...essential reading for any leader coping with the information revolution and the rapid pace of 21st century change. Reeves's observations about our interactions...are perceptive, enlightening, entertaining, and undeniable." Susan Lichtenstein - Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs and Chief Legal Officer Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. "I applaud this provocative, insightful, and perceptive addition to the literature on leadership...an impressive range of thoughtful perspectives and specific strategies from which all concerned leaders, instructors, and students of leadership will benefit."

'Joe Ide is the best new discovery I've come across in a long time. And Isaiah Quintabe is the kind of sleuth not seen on the mystery landscape before.' Michael Connelly SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA JOHN CREASEY (new blood) DAGGER THE TIMES CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTH: 'Full of humour, originality and high-quality writing' East Long Beach. The LAPD is barely keeping up with the high crime rate. Murders go unsolved, the elderly are being mugged, children go missing. But word has spread: if you've got a case the police can't - or won't - touch, Isaiah Quintabe will help you out. They call him IQ. He's a loner and a high school dropout, his unassuming nature disguising a relentless determination and a fierce intelligence. His clients pay him whatever they can afford, a new set of tyres or some homemade muffins. But now he needs a client who can pay. And the only way to that client is through a jive-talking, low-life drug dealer he thought he'd left behind. Then there's the case itself. A drug-addled rap star surrounded by a crew of flunkies who believes his life is in danger; and a hit man who even other hit men say is a lunatic. If he solves this case, IQ can put right a mistake he made long ago. If not it won't just be the hit man coming after him ...

Growth IQ

Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525534407
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
A WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER Do you know the best way to drive your company's growth? If not, it's time to boost your Growth IQ. Trying to find the one right move that will improve your business's performance can feel overwhelming. But, as you'll discover in Growth IQ, there are just ten simple--but easily misunderstood--paths to growth, and every successful growth strategy can be boiled down to picking the right combination and sequence of these paths for your current context. Tiffani Bova travels around the world helping companies solve their most vexing problem: how to keep growing in the face of stiff competition and a fast-changing business environment. Whether she's presenting to a Fortune 500 board of directors or brainstorming over coffee with a startup founder, Bova cuts through the clutter and confusion that surround growth. Now, she draws on her decades of experience and more than thirty fascinating, in-depth business stories to demonstrate the opportunities--and pitfalls--of each of the ten growth paths, how they work together, and how they apply to business today. You'll see how, for instance: * Red Bull broke Coca-Cola and PepsiCo's stranglehold on the soft drink market by taking the Customer Base Penetration path to establish a foothold with adventure sports junkies and expand into the mainstream. * Marvel transformed itself from a struggling comic book publisher into a global entertainment behemoth by using a Customer and Product Diversification strategy and shifting their focus from comic books to comic book characters in movies. * Starbucks suffered a brand crisis when they overwhelmed their customers with a Product Expansion strategy, and brought back CEO Howard Schultz to course-correct by returning to the Customer Experience path. Through Bova's insightful analyses of these and many other case studies, you'll see why it can be a mistake to imitate strategies that worked for your competitors, or rely on strategies that worked for you in the past. To grow your company with confidence, you first need to grow your Growth IQ.

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"THE SCIENCE OF SMART" covers the range of intelligences that make us successful, from verbal and spatial to social and emotional and, through a series of exercises and how-to’s, you'll dive deep into the emerging techniques for boosting our brains across the realms (yes, you can boost your IQ as an adult!). There was a time in the not-too-distant past when intelligence was associated almost exclusively with narrow IQ tests designed to predict who would succeed and who could not. That IQ score was said to be fixed. But just very recently, thanks to a revolution in cognitive neuroscience, experts now know that we have many kinds of intelligence (not all of them measured by old-style IQ tests), and that IQ itself can be enhanced. How we raise our children, how we spend our spare time, even our exercise, all serves to boost the cognitive brain. Included is an interactive quiz to find your creative style; create a workout program of physical exercise to boost your smarts; and take an in-depth test of your emotional intelligence. In addition, there are sample questions across the different areas of intelligence as well as a bona fide version of the Wonderlic test, which is today given widely to job applicants in Fortune 500 Companies and even the NFL. The good news is that new training techniques covered in this book can help anyone increase their scores and their performance in the world.

Outsmarting IQ
Author: David Perkins
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439105618
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 618
Book Description
Since the turn of the century, the idea that intellectual capacity is fixed has been generally accepted. But increasingly, psychologists, educators, and others have come to challenge this premise. Outsmarting IQ reveals how earlier discoveries about IQ, together with recent research, show that intelligence is not genetically fixed. Intelligence can be taught. David Perkins, renowned for his research on thinking, learning, and education, identifies three distinct kinds of intelligence: the fixed neurological intelligence linked to IQ tests; the specialized knowledge and experience that individuals acquire over time; and reflective intelligence, the ability to become aware of one's mental habits and transcend limited patterns of thinking. Although all of these forms of intelligence function simultaneously, it is reflective intelligence, Perkins shows, that affords the best opportunity to amplify human intellect. This is the kind of intelligence that helps us to make wise personal decisions, solve challenging technical problems, find creative ideas, and learn complex topics in mathematics, the sciences, management, and other areas. It is the kind of intelligence most needed in an increasingly competitive and complicated world. Using his own pathbreaking research at Harvard and a rich array of other sources, Perkins paints a compelling picture of the skills and attitudes underlying learnable intelligence. He identifies typical pitfalls in multiple perspectives, and neglecting evidence. He reveals the underlying mechanisms of intelligent behavior. And he explores new frontiers in the development of intelligence in education, business, and other settings. This book will be of interest to people who have a personal or professional stake in increasing their intellectual skills, to those who look toward better education and a more thoughtful society, and not least to those who follow today's heated debates about the nature of intelligence.
