El gran potencial

In a world that thrives on competition and individual achievement, we're measuring and pursuing potential incorrectly. Chasing success in isolation, pushing others away while demanding too much of ourselves, not only limits our potential but also leaves us feeling more stressed and disconnected than ever. Harvard-trained researcher Shawn Achor reveals a better approach. With exciting new research combining neuroscience and psychology with big data, Achor demonstrates that our potential isn't limited by what we can accomplish on our own. Instead, it's determined by how we complement, contribute to, and benefit from the skills and achievements of those around us. When we, as individuals, leaders, and parents, only pursue individual achievements, we leave vast sources of potential untapped. But once we bring "others" back into the equation and work to enhance others, we set in motion a virtuous cycle of cascading successes that amplify our own. The dramatic changes in how we approach work today demand an equally dramatic shift in how we approach success. In Big Potential, Achor draws on original, cutting-edge research, as well as his work with nearly half of the Fortune 100 companies and organizations such as NASA, the NFL, and the NBA, to offer a new path to thriving in the modern world.
