Borrowing Brilliance, David Kord Murray

There is nothing new under the sun, says Entrepreneur Murray. All good ideas are constructed out of existing ones, rather than viewing borrowing as theft, we should view it as necessary – even a desirable path to invention. Charles Darwin did it, as did George Lucas, Steven Jobs, Stephen King and a host of other inventors who knew how to take existing ideas and turn them into new answers for old problems.

Clever, Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones

Knowledge is not an isolated or nice-to-have phenomenon; it is the essence of most enterprises and the heart of the corporate and national competitiveness. What our brightest do, cannot be copied, and they know it - that is what makes clever people so infuriating to manage.

How do you manage a cardiac surgeon or super salesman who throws his toys out the cot every now and then? How do you manage people who are brighter than you and know it? How do you unleash the potential of clever people and then get them to work well with other clever people?

Knowledge worth having

Murray explains the process in six steps that are practical and can be used by us all. The book is important – it is one of the top 10 bestselling non-fiction books in the US!
