Read from a sharing from wechat, but a nice article in Chinese, which I wish to share with all KMers:

美国社会的自信

这篇文章，作者应该是中国大陆旅美人士，值得您用心欣赏。读过之后，我深深地体认，自信并非来自拥有呼风唤雨的能力，而是出于掌握人生的信仰。莫把自信建立在了自卑的沙堆上！若要以他人的不成功为骄傲的基础，你是把自信建立在了自卑的沙堆上。当他人的成功浪潮袭来之时，你将何以安身立命？

Your experience facing and overcoming adversity is actually one of your biggest advantages.

A different perspective on tacit vs explicit knowledge
by , 2016-08-29

I was relaxing over the weekend listening to one of my favourite podcasts* which featured an interview with neuroscientist Dean Burnett, author of Idiot Brain: What Your Brain is Really Up To. The book is about how our brains work, or fails to work! The interview was mildly entertaining, until Dr. Burnett mentioned "fluid intelligence" and "crystallised intelligence".  The Cattell-Horn theory of fluid and crystallised intelligence says that intelligence is made up of different abilities that interact and work together to produce overall individual intelligence, with fluid intelligence being "…the ability to perceive relationships independent of previous specific practice or instruction concerning those relationships." and crystallised intelligence is "the knowledge that comes from prior learning and past experiences, . . . based upon facts and rooted in experiences." Does this sound familiar? It looks very much like the KM idea of tacit and explicit knowledge!
Let's Talk
by , 2016-08-08

At the talk held by Dorothy Tsui on Appreciative Inquiry held on the 9th July, one of the ideas presented was the difference between a "deficit based problem solving" approach and a "strength-based appreciative enquiry". That is to say intead of looking at where thing are going wrong and solving those problems, we look beyond that to what we are going right and build on that. The led me to think that the world, or at least the Devloped World, is becoming less about action based survival problem solving to more about social interaction.

Leadership is a state of mind
by , 2016-07-26

Anyone Can Be A Leader.jpgI recently finished reading Work Rules! by Lazlo Bock. It is about the work culture in Google and is a highly interesting read. I would definitely recommend it for your summer reading list. Each chapter ends with a helpful list of bullet points that summarise the content (great for those with little time to read or a short attention span). The bullets in the first chapter reminded me of a this Gaping Void comic (one of my favourite business comics, I highly recommend subscribing to their blog). The bullets in Work Rules! were:

  • Choose to think of yourself as a founder
  • Now act like one
