Scott Belsky Bücher

How the world's leading innovators push their ideas to fruition again and again Edison famously said that genius is 1 percent inspiration, 99 percent perspiration. Ideas for new businesses, solutions to the world's problems, and artistic breakthroughs are common, but great execution is rare. According to Scott Belsky, the capacity to make ideas happen can be developed by anyone willing to develop their organizational habits and leadership capability. That's why he founded Behance, a company that helps creative people and teams across industries develop these skills. Belsky has spent six years studying the habits of creative people and teams that are especially productive-the ones who make their ideas happen time and time again. After interviewing hundreds of successful creatives, he has compiled their most powerful-and often counterintuitive-practices, such as: •Generate ideas in moderation and kill ideas liberally •Prioritize through nagging •Encourage fighting within your team While many of us obsess about discovering great new ideas, Belsky shows why it's better to develop the capacity to make ideas happen-a capacity that endures over time.

Silicon Valley is full of start-up success stories; every day stories emerge of a new company with the potential for a billion-dollar valuation and plans for global domination. But what can we really learn from these stories? How many of these start-ups are genuinely successful in the long term? When nine out of ten start-ups end in spectacular burnout, how can we ensure our own success story? While most books and press focus on the more sensational moments of creation and conclusion, The Messy Middle argues that the real key to success is how you navigate the ups-and-downs after initial investment is secured. It will give you all the insights you need to build and optimize your team, improve your product and develop your own capacity to lead. Building on seven years' of meticulous research with entrepreneurs, small agencies, start-ups and billion-dollar companies, Scott Belsky offers indispensable lessons on how to endure and thrive in the long term.

"Will give you a toolkit for tackling the challenges of a 24/7, always-on workplace. We'll show you how to build a rock-solid daily routine, field a constant barrage of messages, find focus amid chaos, and carve out the time you need to do the work that matters." -- Book cover.

"Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard. This book helps you with the hard part." -Guy Kawasaki, author of Enchantment According to productivity expert Scott Belsky, no one is born with the ability to drive creative projects to completion. Execution is a skill that must be developed by building your organizational habits and harnessing the support of your colleagues. As the founder and CEO of Behance, a company on a mission to empower and organize the creative world, Belsky has studied the habits of especially productive individuals and teams across industries. Now he has compiled the principles and techniques they share, and presents a systematic approach to creative organization and productivity. While many of us focus on generating and searching for great ideas, Belsky shows why it's better to develop the capacity to make ideas happen-a capacity that endures over time.

Pomysły są jak dzieci – nie wystarczy je wymyślić, trzeba je również wprowadzić w życie. Kluczowe jest rozbicie projektów na mniejsze części oraz zarządzanie energią podczas ich realizacji. W świecie zafascynowanym innowacjami łatwo zakochać się w pomysłach, jednak kreatywność sama w sobie nie wystarczy. Społeczeństwo często dzieli ludzi na „lewo-” i „prawopółkulowych”, zakładając, że te części mózgu nie współdziałają efektywnie. W rzeczywistości, połączenie kreatywności z organizacyjnymi umiejętnościami prowadzi do rozwoju cywilizacji i urzeczywistnienia niezwykłych pomysłów. Błyskotliwe umysły mogą zmieniać świat, ale muszą pokonać trudności, takie jak dezorganizacja czy perfekcjonizm. Warto więc skupić się na urzeczywistnianiu pomysłów, które przetrwają próbę czasu. Poznaj techniki, które przekształcają zdezorganizowane kreatywne jednostki w zorganizowane zespoły: generuj pomysły z umiarem, działaj bez uprzedzeń, zachęcaj do sporów w zespole i współzawodnictwa, a także redukuj projekty do trzech kluczowych elementów. Pomysły nie mają wartości, jeśli nie można ich zrealizować.
