Leadership with Impact offers new ways of thinking and approaching complex problems through a conceptual and practical leadership approach founded on innovation and diversity. The authors introduce the I.D.D.E.A. (Innovation, Design, Diversity, Execution, and Assessment) Leadership Framework through which health and human service practitioners can easily design, implement, and evaluate innovative programs to help vulnerable populations and promote organizational and social change. Innovative leaders explore complex social issues with an innovative lens and build solutions with the use of the latest evidence, technology, and collaborative practices. Additionally, chapters highlight "leadership profiles" and case scenarios comprised of health and human service leader interviews covering their perspectives and approaches to problem-solving. Finally, the book offers assessment tools for the leader/practitioner to be mindful of their own engagement with others and evaluate their sustainable

急著解決的事不難。不急、但沒有頭緒的重大問題才考驗你如何使用邏輯與智力。讀完本書，你會驚訝發現自己的思考有多易受限，判斷又多可能出錯！這本書不僅是要學習解決問題，更重要的是拓展思維。它已協助許多大學生在專精領域之外，發展出如何處理問題的通才技能。策略思考的問題解決能力是許多專業人士認為必要的技能，但卻不會出現在學校教育的專科課程裡。就連部分STEM（科學理工）學系出身的人，也往往缺乏這種「通才」的重要技能；他們往往無法釐清思緒、研究執行，甚而無法向工作團隊以簡明的語言「推銷」解決問題的方案。原因是什麼？因為他們很少受過正式以問題分析並進行策略思考的系統性訓練。擔任過企業諮詢顧問、並在大學任教的本書作者謝瓦里耶，將在這本書中由朋友的狗「哈利」走失開始，帶領讀者走過一趟完整的問題解決思考訓練，在書中，這樣的問題即是複雜(complex)、定義模糊（ill-defined）、非迫切（nonimmediate）的問題（簡稱為CIDNI問題）CIDNI問題在生活中並不是時時會出現──但這樣的問題往往正是考驗我們對問題解決的思考能力。對於這樣的問題，我們可以經由本書規劃的四大步驟及其工具進行探索與分析：「找到你需要解決的問題」（What）：面對不熟悉的新狀況時，我們應先釐清真正的問題所在。我們時常以為對情況瞭若指掌，急著尋找解決辦法，但後來往往只會發現自己鎖定了錯的問題。 瞭解為何會遇到這個問題(Why)：釐清問題之後，接著是找出原因。學著從本書的「問題診斷分析圖」，將問題分解成不同面向，一次列舉所有可能肇因，再逐一檢驗假設後得出結論。找出解決問題的可行方案(How)：明瞭問題癥結與原因後，主動尋找解決辦法。「解決方案分析圖」能引導決策生成，從可能的解決辦法中挑選最理想的選項。實際執行解決方案(Do)：要實際執行解決辦法，首要之務就是說服重要關係人，讓他們相信我們的結論正確無誤，本書最後會討論執行解決問題行動的考量事項，尤其著重於如何有效領導團隊。現實中的難題沒有特定領域或形態，被教導著重特定領域的深度非壞事，但可能忽略了事情的廣度。「他山之石，可以攻錯。」培養有廣度的思維，是通才基礎，本書是結合了多種領域理論與實證的工具組合，以深入淺出的文字詳盡解說，正可提供一個廣泛適用的架構與必備工具，協助你更了解問題解決的思考之道。〔書評推薦〕幾年前我開始規劃一門MBA課程，在

Conjugate Addition Reactions in Organic Synthesis, Second Edition, Volume Nine provides an introduction to the chemistry of conjugate reactions, a group of reactions that constitute one of the most important classes of chemical reactions in organic synthesis. The book is organized according to class of acceptor rather than the class of nucleophile, which makes for easier synthetic problem-solving. All aspects of conjugate addition reactions are covered, including theory, mechanism, catalysis and total synthesis. Asymmetric processes are heavily featured, and there is emphasis on catalysis, given its importance in all aspects of organic synthesis today. Extensive examples in total synthesis illustrate how particular synthetic challenges are addressed and resolved with conjugate addition chemistry. This new edition features new coverage of acceptors and nucleophiles, as well as organocatalysis, gold catalysis, peptide catalysis, arene additions, and emerging areas such as biocatalytic

Part of the experience of being alive in the twenty-first century is the feeling that your attention span is collapsing, along with those of everyone around you - including your children. Why have we lost our ability to focus? What are the causes? And - most importantly - how do we get it back? In Stolen Focus, internationally bestselling author Johann Hari sets out on a global investigative journey into our shortening attention spans. He tells us what he learned from spending three months off the internet, reveals the inside story of the war to grab our attention that is waged every day, and explores why those prescribing mood stimulants to 10% of children in schools are getting it so wrong.Drawing on more than two hundred interviews with the world's leading experts on attention problems, Stolen Focus moves beyond individual solutions towards a collective understanding of a problem facing us all. Only by first solving the attention crisis, Hari argues, can we turn to fixing the issues

發明問題解決理論(Theory of inventive problem solving，英文簡寫為TRIZ)在實際工程問題解決領域發揮的積極作用已經得到充分報道。本書具有理論及實踐兩方面的獨特貢獻： 1 理論方面，首先，本書基於TRIZ理論構建了全新的管理創新方法理論體系M-TRIZ，並構建了一套系統化管理創新工具體系。其次，基於M-TRIZ理論，從管理問題的真實情境出發，開發了流分析、因果分析
