Hot Spots Why Some Teams, Workplaces, and Organizations Buzz with Energy # and Others Don't

World-renowned authority on business strategy and author of Living Strategy Lynda Gratton examines Hot Spots--places and times where cooperation flourishes, resulting in productivity and success beyond expectations--and shows how to develop these Hot Spots within our own environment.Gratton is one of only four women on the Financial Times list of the top 50 current business thinkers in the world. She is also the world's number-one strategic thinker, according to Strategic HR Management, the industry periodical. In Hot Spots she presents a simultaneously revolutionary and simple concept--one that not only holds massive potential for increasing productivity, cooperation and innovation, but is also easy to understand and very catchy.Through extensive research from industry leaders such as BP, Nokia, Linux and Goldman Sachs, Gratton illustrates how Hot Spots can be found anywhere that ideas converge, from corporations to coffee shops.
