تذكر من أنت: قصص من الحياة تلهم القلب والعقل
عندما يتعلق الأمر بمهنتنا، يبدو أن السؤال الذي نطرحه على أنفسنا في الحالة النمطية هو: ماذا نريد أن نكون؟ لكن في خضم ضغوط العمل والتسابق على النجاح، تبقى أسئلة جوهرية أكثر أهمية دون إجابات: أي نوع من القادة نريد أن نكون؟ كيف نرتقي إلى مستوى مسؤولياتنا؟ من يرشدنا ويهدينا سواء السبيل؟
في هذا الكتاب الملهم، تأخذنا ديزي ويدمان إلى داخل أشهر مراكز التدريب على إدارة الأعمال في العالم وأرفعها مكانة، حيث يقدم خمسة عشر عضواً من أعضاء الهيئة التدريسية في كلية هارفارد للأعمال دروساً ثمينة ـ ومفاجئة أحياناً ـ عن الحياة والقيادة. كل رسالة مؤطرة بصيغة قصة شخصية: بدءاً بحكاية مثيرة تحبس الأنفاس عن حادثة مؤسفة وخطرة على جبال الهملايا، مروراً بوصف تأملي لرحلة على دراجة نارية عبر ولايتين أمريكيتين، وانتهاء بحادثة طريفة جرت في امتحان علم الحيوان.
يعرض هؤلاء الأساتذة المختصون بإدارة الأعمال، الذين درسوا ودربوا آلافاً مؤلفة من الطلاب والمديرين التنفيذيين، أفكاراً صريحة، ونصائح مفيدة تتعلق بجوانب وملامح القيادة كلها: ركوب المخاطرة، والاتصال بالواقع، وارتكاب الأخطاء، و»ابتكار» الحظ السعيد، وغير ذلك.
«تذكر من أنت» كتاب يقدم النصح والمشورة، والتشجيع والتوجيه لكل من يسعى إلى النجاح في المهنة والحياة في آن؛ ويريد أن تحدث قيادته فارقاً مهماً في العالم. وبغض النظر هل تواجه يومك الأول في الوظيفة، أو مطالب رئيسك المعتادة في العمل، فإن هذا الكتاب هو الذي سيبقى في الذاكرة يعيد تركيز بؤرة اهتمامنا على المدلول الحقيقي للقيادة، ومن ثم يمكننا من تحقيق إنجازات ما حلمنا بها قط.

عند نهاية كل مادة في كلية هارفارد للأعمال يقوم استاذ المادة بذكر قصة شخصية حدثت له; مستخلصًا منها -للطلبة القادة- العبر والحكم النافعة.
مؤلفة الكتاب قامت بجمع المجموعة الملهمة من هذه القصص وأدرجتها تحت أربع أقسام (اكتساب منظور - إدارة ذاتك - قيادة الآخرين - بناء القيم)
الترجمة كانت مزعجة قليلا - الكتاب كعموم ممتع وشيّق ولا يخلو من (إلهام).

Not the book I expected. The book includes 15 stories shared by Harvard professors at the final lectures, and it is meant to provide the students with some memorable lessons. Some stories are indeed interesting, but personally, they lack depth for true inspiration.

書名很吸引人，因此我原本期待是以已經成功者的經驗，分享過程中可能遇到的迷惘，但內容還是以「如何成為一個好的領導人及其應具備的的特質」為主，而沒有想像中有趣。頂多就是一兩句發人深省的話。

This book came recommended by Professor JD when he invited Daisy Dowling (now Wademan) to class to give a talk about success in the workplace. So interesting to see how she published this book in 2004 as a recent alumni facing recruiting troubles and how she’s now an independent career coach/ author in 2023. Everyone really turns out OK.
This was a breezy read of 15 short essays/ advice by HBS professors. The ending essay by former Dean Kim Clark filled me with a sense of purpose (and importance?), the same feeling I felt on the first day of matriculation sitting in Klarman, but has gradually slipped away with the rough edges of the experience and peers glorifying PE.
Quotes:
Success is born in good fortune, and obligation is born in success. In creating luck for others, you yourself may reach the highest peak.
[On being authentic vs creating a persona at work]
“You don’t need to be yourself — but you’ve got to be like yourself”
“What we do during our working hours determines what we have, what we do in our leisure hours determines what we are.”
Carnegie vigorously espoused values that he utterly ignored professionally. In his personal writings, Carnegie referred to the “debasing worship of money” and to the positive force of organised labor. But professionally, he authorised the use of any means — including violence — to bar unions from his own plants, keeping wages deliberately low and his profits deliberately high. Personally Carnegie was humane and liberal, a connoisseur of literature and philosophy; in the business world, he was union-breaking and ruthless.
When students walk into class, they’re not always aware of the exact nature of the opportunity they’re facing. There are 85 other people in the room, all of whom are smart and hardworking, who contribute ideas to help drive the group’s learning process. So the bar is set high — but only for a short while. Because no matter how hard any one student tries tomorrow, he or she can never have this experience again. This class has a shelf-life of exactly 80 minutes, and when the time is up, that learning experience is gone — forever. But people don’t always understand that, and sometimes they get a little lazy.
Remember all those people who worked and sacrificed to make it possible for you to be where you are. Remember that when you walk out of this door you carry a mantle of responsibility, the good name of this family, the hopes and dreams of your mom and dad. Remember the promise that is yours, the wonderful opportunities in front of you, the hope that is in you for a better world. […] Set your sights high. Get up out of the valleys and the shadows of everyday life into the high country, where you can see forever.

More than inspiring: wise as well
The stories are beautifully written, artfully presented, and painstakingly edited and polished. Some of them could win Best Personal Essay contests were they to be presented as such. They are eminently readable; in fact it was a delight to read them.
Let me put it this way: If you have a young person interested in a business career or a thirty-something loved one climbing up the corporate ladder, slip this little gem of a book into their unread copy of the Wall Street Journal and they'll have it read before morning and wake up with amazement in their eyes.
Reading this book is a little like going to the Harvard School of Business. Daisy Wademan has selected fifteen life-changing stories told by business professors at Harvard. She has guided these stories into a form very much like that of the 15-minute personal-experience lecture that typically signals the close of a class before the final exam and before the applause. They are story/lectures from the heart and from the mind, told by people who know what they are talking about. They have excellent ideas and the commitment of true teachers who want to help and to guide.
The first story, "A Fall Before Rising" by Jai Jaikumar is about mountain climbing and the day his foot went through the snow in the Himalayas at close to 24,000 feet, and of the consequent 60-mile-per-hour ride down part of the side of the mountain, and then a 24-hour trek through snow and ice apparently on a broken hip until he fell into the arms of a peasant woman who fed him and then carried him--literally carried him--for three days to a doctor.
The second story by Jeffrey F. Rayport is about a stuffed bird only partially displayed that served as an unusual final exam for a zoology course that taught him to be prepared to expect strange challenges; indeed the bird symbolized the nature of what we can only partially see, making us realize that what we need to know to succeed in business may be characterized by "extreme uncertainty and accelerating change."
The third story is unusually striking in its advice: "be like yourself," with the emphasis on the word "like." Professor Richard S. Tedlow advises his students to assume a public personality that is neither too remote from who they are nor too familiar. He relates how we might seek "a balanced identity." Just as we balance time between our personal and profession lives, so too might we balance who we are at home and at work while keeping a "porous boundary" between the two personae.
The fourth story is about understanding who you are, "your background...and your prejudices, and [that] you must understand how each element from your past shaped your thinking..." Thomas K. McCraw recalls Kierkegaard, who said that "we understand ourselves only in retrospect." How truth that is, and yet (McCraw adds) "we must live...[our lives] going forward"--always going forward in a partial ignorance that is only dispelled after the fact, sometimes long after the fact.
Notice how the power of these thoughts comes from a broad understanding of history and ideas, from the application of an academic understanding to the practice of life. These stories can be seen as examples of how education works to improve out lives and to help us understand how to live.
If I had to pick one story that stood out for me personally it would be Stephen P. Kaufman's "A Bad Meal, and the Truth." What he learned when he became a CEO is that you are still the same person but everyone around you sees you differently and treats you in ways that can isolate you and make you ineffective if you are not careful to devise ways of getting around their insulating and frankly sycophantic behavior. A fellow CEO summed up the situation by saying, "Steve, there are two things you'll never get again--a bad meal, and the truth." I would like to add that this is a danger that can threaten heads of state as well.
I could go on--and I will. One more. This is from Thomas DeLong (story #12). He took his 11-year-old daughter on a bike trip to Mount Rushmore and she asked him what he calls "The Mount Rushmore Question." He had told her that the men on Mount Rushmore "were courageous" and "had made a difference in people's lives." She asked, "Do YOU make a difference?" One can see the little girl comparing her father to the men on the mountain. DeLong felt this powerfully and it lead him to formulate two questions he employs to teach others the lesson that he had learned. The first question is, "How do people experience you?" and the second is, "How do people experience themselves when they are with you?"
Try those two out. You might surprise yourself.
The keynote story is the final one in the book, "Remember Who You Are." I think we can imagine how these words from a proud mother guided and inspired Harvard Business School Dean Kim Clark over the years.
Wademan provides an Introduction about the genesis and the nature of the book, and she introduces each of the stories with a short biographical note.
This is no ordinary book of inspiration and reading it will make you feel very good about the state of business in America, and make you realize that what happened at Enron and ImClone are aberrations.
--Dennis Littrell, author of “The World Is Not as We Think It Is”

It’s a book about dream, position influence to others, and leaderships.
The story that I remembered the most is on the chapter of alumni gathering. To vision life, first to think what you want to get from a career (if it’s money, power, status etc.). Secondly set a bigger and less narrow goal. Thirdly to always see the long long term goal. Forth and fifth is about surrounding by adventurous friends and set timeframe then cut the noise.
Another realization/ take away to that there is not just about success or big failure. Everyone has two sides and what they have sacrificed behind the scene.
It has a series of inspiring stories shared by Harvard’s professors on their last lecture of each semester. It provide good guidance and values especially in this hustle and fast-paced world - to identify what really matters is important.

خلافاً عن الكتب الاخرى الفائدة تستنبط من القصة مما يجعلها اكثر متعة في القراءة.

احببت فكرة الكتاب كونه يستند على مجموعة قصص سمعتها الكاتبة من اساتذتها في الجامعة
يطرحون فيها تجاربهم والمصاعب التي مرت بهم وكيف تجاوزوها وما استفادوه منها
احببت فكرة اعطاء نبذة قصيرة عن كل شخص قبل سرد قصته
احببت تنوع القصص وتدرجها

內容主要是以不同的親身經驗去分享哈佛教授所體悟到的人生觀，有點像是聽前輩分享自己的故事告誡後輩那樣，但整體的內容仍略顯單薄。
我個人印象蠻深刻的一個點是裡面一個小體悟，一位教授在爬雪山點時候遇到了雪崩，一個向左向右的決定讓他有活下來的機會，後來遇到一位好心的婦人照顧他並且把他背下山，教授一直想用錢回報婦人，但婦人不接受，最後他以回報當地居民福祉作為回饋。其實我以前受人幫忙的時候總會決定愧疚或急著想回報給對方，其實帶著感恩的心接受，並把這份溫暖傳遞下去更重要。
《摘要》
📌 能夠坦然接受別人的好，感謝他人，也能以自己的能力去幫助下一個人。
📌 不是「時間」的平衡，而是「身分」的平衡，創造並維持上班時和居家時的自己之間的差別。
📌接受人無完人，每個人都有優缺，自己也是。
📌設好私人領域的界線，培養「表裡如一」的個人風采，能幫助你抵擋此生注定躲不過的明槍暗鬥。
📌看清自己的背景，再仔細觀察在黑白間之外還有哪些色調，才能幫助自己做出高明的抉策。

A really inspiring book for college students of all majors. You can easily link with what the professors are saying and they are simple lessons that the heart can easily remember. They are also short stories and make a really good book to read over time and ponder over each story and relate it to life

Sometimes I believe books come to us at different times in our lives when we need them. I needed this book and it's inspiring lessons and encouragement as I start 2015 with the hope of new beginnings in my career. It's an easy, worthwhile read and a reminder that the journey is long and winding so keep going. Read it and reflect on your path. Good luck.

Great little life stories.
Some stories are great reminders and concrete examples of what attitude we should have towards our life’s ( a sense of gratitude, appreciations for the luck and opportunities, respect for time, etc ) , which we tend to forget when we are performing day to day tasks.

"It is critical to truly understand your own ideas: to grasp how and why you have come to reason as you do. You must examine where your ideas come from, how they affect your view on the world, and where you may take a wrong turn by following them. To do so, you must examine your own past, and examine how those black-and-white beliefs and ideas were built."

Some good stories in this wee bit but I found myself finishing one and going straight onto the next one but finding that it didn't flow well and so ended up putting the book down a lot. Yet a few stories did get me thinking

前面第一段“开拓视野”里面的故事还算是有新意，给与我很深刻的印象
接下来所说的就没有那么有趣，说成功，说完美，说领导该有的态度，说得很笼统
这本适合刚出社会的读者，对未来职业生涯还在摸索，或者在公司刚接触管理的读者。
对于40+, 就没有那么有用。
