Insight! The optimist

How does a boy of 14 who is about to enter the first scientific university to read a text? And 'what has happened to me a few days ago, returned to Italy. My son is looking for something exciting, I asked a specific book that I had discussed at the table with your family, I think five years ago.
The text is by Kurt Lewin (German psychologist of the Jewish race, who emigrated to the United States by force), where described several experiments on human behavior. There is one where some students inflict electric shocks to other students increasing, that one of Tamara Dembo on anger as a problem in need of a dynamic motivation to take action, the effect Zeigarnik (waiter remembers that orders for hundreds of tables and forget them all to return home) and many others. Well my story and stimulated by this discussion between a leg of chicken and salad, my son has kept over the years the curiosity to read, which now has grown up to specifically request this book. It 'obvious that if it were not for the accused, now the boy to read more, probably despair father! This particular
consoles me greatly, because my customers do spend more money than buying a veritable library relevant to the management company, which is the source, during the consultation, spit and examples, educating the farmer to go and search for the source of my reasoning.
E 'probable that in doing so, even more, the company can browse over the years, "sacred texts" of marketing, human resources management in the growing ability to live the firm.
But everything is not enough, I realize it takes an extra step, on which with my kid we're getting there, but I also want to "export" in enterprises.
The top level is called insight.
For sociologists, psychologists, psychoanalysts and means to activate a response and that learning is no longer next to mistakes and errors, but creative, changing the surrounding space. In short, the flash of genius, which is derived from a study applies to.
Learning for insight has been theorized in the '20s watching, among other things, the behavior of chimpanzees in the task of reaching a banana by using a series of sticks of different lengths. The solution would have been fitting together the two sticks. After a long exploration of the tools at their disposal, so the cage and the external environment, the chimpanzee suddenly (like intuition) is the solution fitting the two clubs reach the banana. This is not to retry the case, but reconfiguring the various elements of the system (poles, guard, banana, distances) in order to achieve this. In the jargon is called 'insight as a form of reasoning, rather than to analyze a problem in detail, through a process of gradual approach allows you to reach the solution by sudden insight. Although the two forms of reasoning are often complementary (the progressive and intuition) insight is particularly important in solving new problems, for which strategies are often borrowed from the experience insufficient.
The conclusion is simple: we need a "something more" which I think is called insight and the way to achieve this is to study, or call the company who is growing according to this scheme.

Traveling To China With A Camera

What to do?

soon returned to Italy, an Italian businessman and calls me after a long list of facts asked me how I move? At that point I am reminded of a historical transition, that I was very impressed for years. We talk about the campaign in Africa 1941-1943. Our army was based on large units with very low mobility (divisions which in turn formed armed) deeply rooted in the soil, in practice they were strongholds in the wilderness. The Germans before and after the British, on the other hand are structured particularly mobile brigades and lively, articulate themselves into battalions and companies are able to roam beyond the enemy lines with ease. In short, the "front line" became outdated idea, it is clear Under these conditions who led the war were the Germans and Italians, the British relegating to a secondary role, though very numerous, but with little means and resources. What lessons learned from this example?
certainly talk about events that took place 70 years ago when a sharp acceleration of reactions between different behaviors, it may look out of place. Nevertheless, identifying a cute animal, the behavior that our companies should take on the market, I would like all of the squirrels are able to move quickly, eating little and live long. Remember how the Viet Cong fed with a handful of rice a day in their burrows and hollow managed to win the richest Americans, who had at their disposal everything and its opposite? A lazy soldier from 4 meals a day, could not react to an opponent with half the weight and particularly agile.
How to translate this into trade policy?
To begin with not enough action on ignoring this other company, unless it is structured will not get to anything stable. It 's true that some entrepreneur comes off for years save on operating costs, but it's days are numbered. The operating cost is comparable to the physical form for an athlete. Save on the muscles of athletes, it means losing the competition.
It follows that serves a structure, without which any initiative is designed to be episodic. In practice, a great effort not fruitful. I met entrepreneurs who pass from father to son, but then a lot of work, holding, fail to collect the riches that were to mature. Sure they have owned the house, but not the comfort that comes from 30-40 or even 50 years of hard work. Such cases are attributable to inappropriate business structure in the face of actual work, but not fruit if not survival.
clarified this aspect that is too often taken for granted, we move to the operational management with a premise: there is an excellent trade policy, which is not accompanied by the quality of personnel, administrative and financial, marketing etc.
Considering the company in its "global", now look at his "speed" of reaction to the market, as measured?
There is no tool set for this aspect of business management, like the odometer of a car. Instead you need a marketing plan to be updated every 6 months. This method is the only, if accompanied by an accounting system of monthly review of objectives, allowing you to determine whether or not the company is responding to the demands of the market. Well, this system of operation of the company is still underdeveloped (only 7% in Italy) which explains the delays and inadequacies in the our businesses within the EU and globally. An aggressive policy able to retain the firm on the market that you can not come up all day, comes from a corporate culture unsettled day after day, the important thing is to start.
