隱喻領導力：啟發洞見、解決難題的200則思考提醒 (電子書)

內容簡介

內容簡介 隱喻是一個強而有力的交流工具，一個隱喻可能勝過千言萬語，節省大量的表達用詞。隱喻能創造想像空間，讓人重新思考問題，從而開闢全新解決方案的可能性。 身為職場領導者或工作者，善用隱喻可以激勵員工或同事採取行動及產生改變。隱喻不僅使溝通有成效，還能讓人迅速認清現實，脫離無效目標，重新開始或改變方向。隱喻更可用於對話指導，激發想像力和啟發對話。舉例來說：「The Emperor’s new clothes.」（國王的新衣：安徒生童話裡的國王一絲不掛遊街，是因為沒有人敢說出真相。）──太多領導者總是偏聽他人的曲意奉承，看不清事情的真相。思考提示：面對生活，需要足夠的勇氣與無私的坦然，才能發現真理。「The elephant in the room.」(房間裡的大象：房間裡明明有隻大象，人們卻當作沒看見。) ──有時候問題過於難解，但是它明明還在，人們就是得過且過或絕口不提。思考提示：你不批評、不指責，單純就事論事，以開放的態度討論解決方案。「Face the music .」(勇於面對現實，接受不好的後果：這裡不是要你面對音樂，而是要你承擔做錯事的後果。) ──判斷錯誤，就要自己承擔後果。思考提示：眼看著事態發展不如預期，你有多大的心胸願意負起責任？「Put a tiger in your tank.」(油箱裡的猛虎能量：在你的油箱裡放一隻老虎？！這是知名汽油品牌ESSO埃索的廣告文案，但老虎與汽油有什麼關係呢？正是這種隱喻，使人想去探究其深層的含義：這種汽油將為你的汽車帶來無限的動力，猶如一頭猛虎。)──有時候你需要將精力集中在某個能讓你不遺餘力的目標。思考提示：你的抗壓性高嗎？假如遇到必須迅速執行的活動，你會有什麼風險？「Act the goat.」(裝瘋賣傻／幹盡蠢事：這可不是扮一隻山羊，這是為了逃避責任的「裝傻」，也可解釋為逗人一笑的「耍笨」，有時候還可形容「瘋癲」。)──有時候我們會做一些別人眼中的蠢事而不自知。思考提示：你願不願意基於好理由讓自己顯得有點愚蠢？因為這樣能夠累積相當程度的好感。寥寥數語的「隱喻」濃縮了集體經驗的智慧。利用「隱喻」思考問題，有助於解放思路，開啟更多新的解決方案。藉由「隱喻」，我們能夠切中問題核心、釐清事態、帶來洞見，或者指出癥結所在。本書收錄200則多樣化的「隱喻」，有些很新穎，有些早已膾炙人口，每一則都值得我們玩味；而且可供領導者在不同的環境下應用。領導者在各式各樣的情況下思考如何表現出最佳引導和影響力，本書可作為豐富的思考提示資源。請讓想像力隨著每一則隱喻共舞，展開新洞見的種種可能，人生將會處處充滿驚喜，而且讓人樂在其中。
