Konkelen, streken uithalen, samenzweren zijn in een organisatie een alledaagse bezigheid. Wie spant met wie samen? Wie zijn er 'twee handen' op een buik? Wie manipuleert wie, waartoe en hoe? Mensen die vertrouwen op de formele verhoudingen, op het 'nette' spel, komen bedrogen uit. Beslissingen komen niet alleen tot stand door rationele afwegingen van voor- en tegenargumenten. Nee, het andere spel, het ondergrondse politieke machtsspel, is minstens even belangrijk.

The bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals examines the critical art of rethinking: learning to question your opinions and open other people's minds, which can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in life

Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating toward those who challenge our thought process. The result is that our beliefs get brittle long before our bones. Intelligence is no cure, and it can even be a curse: there's evidence that being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking. The brighter we are, the blinder to our own limitations we can becom...
