Management & Leadership

Knowledge and expertise are highly valued in today's business world. At work we are assessed and rewarded based on what we know, on having the answers. Our need for certainty exerts strong pressure in our lives. This important book offers an alternative, contrarian approach to dealing with such pressures. It encourages us to embrace not knowing, rather than fear it. The authors argue that engaging with the unknown helps us develop an exploratory mindset, and discover new ways to solve our most complex personal and work-related challenges.

Not Knowing: The Art of Turning Uncertainty into Opportunity

LID Publishing

Knowledge and expertise are highly valued in today's business world. These values are introduced at an early age by our education system, and at work, we are assessed based on what we know, on having the answers and solutions. Our need for certainty, to know what's going on, to have all the answers, exerts strong pressure in our lives. This award-winning book offers an alternative, contrarian approach to dealing with such pressures―and to embrace "not knowing" rather than fearing it. The authors argue it is by "not knowing" that we in fact develop an exploratory mindset, and we discover, engage and create new ways to deal with business and management problems and issues. The book is supported by stories of individuals and the positive change they made in their lives through "not knowing." Solving new problems with old ways of thinking are no longer useful in the new world.

For too long, we have bought into the myth of separation: the story that we each win or lose through the relentless pursuit of self-improvement, achieving personal and organizational goals and increasing consumerism. This has led us to being more lonely, exhausted, and disconnected than ever, with a devastating impact on our ‘personal’ lives, families, communities, organizations and the planet. Not Being invites us to be curious about a different way of life. It argues that beyond our actions and thinking, it is our very identities that need to transform. To be successful and thrive in this increasingly precarious, polarised, and interconnected world, we all need to become a bigger and bolder vision of who we are. Through a range of inspirational stories from people in many different walks of life, Not Being is the essential guide to a more dynamic, meaningful, and rewarding way of life. It completes the trilogy of Not Knowing and Not Doing by closing the gap on what we need to know, do and be.
