5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting read, well argued, with only one small flaw., 1 Feb 2007
By Richard Griffiths "SoulFireMage" (Bristol UK) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
I'm 3/4 the way through this book, and have found it an enjoyable and enlightening read so far.I'm a bit of a generalist myself so I can appreciate his ideas.

The concept however the West needing to grasp these ideas ahead of the Asian market isn't solid however. I think that there are as many smart cookies over there that will pick up on these skills as there are in Europe or America. This books concepts are simply universal. However, this is the only minor niggle, and another reviewer has mentioned it.

Don't let it be a detracting point. If the contents of the book interest you, buy it. It's cheap, and worth more, and you will enjoy the writing and the concepts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Maintaining the lead, 30 Aug 2005
By E. Daniel "esdaniel" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Thanks to Chris Heuer advertising the fact this was his current book I decided to give it a spin.

Being at the cutting point of where this book starts I was very keen to compare Daniel's views with my own. On the whole he's absolutlely spot on about the truths of globalisation and what that means to labour markets in the western world.

My concern however is that Daniel has highlighted a solution to competing against Asia which might well be taken as an assumption that these skills won't be replicated with ease by the western world's key competitors : India and China.

I think the book needs to be read by anyone who is at risk of being commoditized by either technology, offshore markets or competitor products that take market share from you because of your weakness in design. Daniel very clearly justifies the reality of these weaknesses for many westerners - I just don't know if I can believe that his solution of 'six senses' will be enough to maintain competitiveness in these times of change. However, that said there is no reason why one should not use ALL the tricks 'in the book' especially the ones in this book ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Get Creative!, 26 April 2005
An excellent, thought provoking book. I read it in two sittings.

Dan Pink writes a lot better than most so-called management gurus. He's also a Democrat, which makes his ideas and scribblings more palatable than most of his contemporaries.

If you're already working in a creative capacity or industry, you'll already know/understand what most of Pink is saying. If you're not, it's time to learn.

Business and industry in the west is undergoing yet another renaissance. Pink's observations may not be groundbreaking in themselves, but he has successfully identified and documented a sea change in the way we add value to goods and services.

During the 80's and 90's it was the turn of the computer geeks and code writers. In the new millennium, it's the right brainers - the creatives, the empathisers and the carers - who will rise to prominence.

Pink provides short portfolios of practical ideas for flexing and stretching the right side of your brain: Interesting and diverting for those already of a creative bent, not so sure for some of the hard-nosed, egomaniacal leaders of industry out there.

As a Mac advertisement once stated, "You have 206 bones in your body; surely one of them is creative." Buy A Whole New Mind and find out.
