書籍簡介

當今世界，個人的創造力無法與團隊的創造力相媲美，所以，將單個的創新型人才整合為創新型團隊，對領導者來説，這是一條成長的必由之路，也是一項需要終身學習的能力。

本書作者託德·亨利 是創新型產業的大師級作家，先後幫助各類組織激發過出色的創意。在十多年的諮詢案例中，他發現職場中的許多不和諧和緊張感，都是因為創新型人才的需求沒有得到滿足。 比如，有的創新型人才看上去很難管，是因為眼看着工作目標就要達成卻被隨意更改，此前的大量努力都付諸東流，只能推倒重來。 再如，有的創新型人才看上去自尊心強，是因為他們的才華沒有得到應有的尊重，付出了大量努力卻被領導者輕易忽視或否定。

其實，創新型人才需要兩樣東西：穩定和挑戰。穩定指的是工作環境可預知，可以讓他們專注地解決問題，不用耗費精力應對不穩定的環境。挑戰指的是工作內容能讓他們興奮，能給他們足夠的成長空間，不斷獲得成就感。

本書從“穩定-挑戰”層面入手，解決思維路徑和工作路徑存在的問題，幫助人們實現行動、決策和適當挑戰相結合的自由，為個人和團隊帶來成長。

A practical handbook for every manager charged with leading teams to creative brilliance, from the author of The Accidental Creative and Die Empty.

Doing the work and leading the work are very different things. When you make the transition from maker to manager, you give ownership of projects to your team even though you could do them yourself better and faster. You're juggling expectations from your manager, who wants consistent, predictable output from an inherently unpredictable creative process. And you're managing the pushback from your team of brilliant, headstrong, and possibly overqualified creatives.

Leading talented, creative people requires a different skill set than the one many management books offer. As a consultant to creative companies, Todd Henry knows firsthand what prevents creative leaders from guiding their teams to success, and in Herding Tigers he provides a bold new blueprint to help you be the leader your team needs. Learn to lead by influence instead of control. Discover how to create a stable culture that empowers your team to take bold creative risks. And learn how to fight to protect the time, energy, and resources they need to do their best work.

Full of stories and practical advice, Herding Tigers will give you the confidence and the skills to foster an environment where clients, management, and employees have a product they can be proud of and a process that works.
