Wild Duck: Empirische Philosophie der Mensch-Computer-Vernetzung
Ein Buch mit echtem Wow!-Effekt. Provozierend, atemberaubend querdenkend über wichtige Themen, die uns zum Teil nicht einmal in den Sinn kommen. Spannend geschrieben, teils sanft, mal bitterböse, immer witzig-brillant: Vorsicht, langsam lesen und genießen - nichts verpassen! Es hält eine merkwürdige Balance zwischen Ironie, Scharfrichterernst, Slapstickeinlage, Satire und philosophischer Ruhe. Wir schwanken: "Das stimmt genau." - "Ist das wirklich ernst gemeint?" - "Das darf man so nicht sagen!" Wußten Sie schon, daß Menschen am besten und erfolgreichsten arbeiten, wenn sie Sinn und Herausforderung in ihrer Tätigkeit sehen, wenn sie in ihr Erfüllung und Freude finden? Jeder von uns weiß das, aber unsere Erziehungs- und Managementsysteme sind erst zufrieden, wenn Lernen und Lehren, Arbeit und Fortkommen Mühsal sind. Der Autor wagt die provozierende Prognose: Die kontrollierenden Computer der Zukunft werden erzwingen, daß Arbeit Spaß macht.

Another one of those eye-openers. Dueck begins by explaining the basics of the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, a classification system for character types based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Using four fundamental types (NT, NF, SJ, SP), he provides a staggeringly accurate and complete account of the interactions among humans, and between humans and systems such as management structures, KPIs, processes, and organizations.
Reading this was like being given the script to my life; it was a revelation that made me understand why each of the individuals and groups in my life behave the way they do, and why my interactions with them turn out the way they do, and why some of them are more successful and pleasant than others. It also provided me with a great deal of insight on why I am good at some things and bad at others, and why I get along well with certain kinds of people but not others. Not least, it provided me with the conceptual framework for understanding what I perceive as the ongoing NT-driven, top-down culture change at SAP.
Going one step further, Dueck examines the interactions between the individual and society, and how society (and organizations) can become much better at enabling the individual rather than incentivizing them to cheat (as current KPI systems tend to do).
