持續進化,成為自己和團隊的最佳教練。
想像您擁有一位隨時在身邊、最了解你的頂尖教練,可以幫助您在關鍵時刻跳脫盲點、看清全局,做出最有遠見的決策!——《Distancing》教您成為這樣的自己,適時從問題中抽離、保持心理距離,成為自己和團隊的最佳領導者。
本書作者大衛‧馬凱特(L. David Marquet)以第一名的優異成績畢業於美國海軍官校,曾任海軍艦長,著有商管類暢銷書《當責領導力》(Turn the Ship Around!)。本次與組織心理學教授麥可‧吉萊斯皮(Michael Gillespie)聯手出擊,帶領讀者跳脫「全心全意活在此時此刻」這一概念所帶來的狹隘、主觀想法,運用「心理抽離」(psychological distancing)的心智技巧,從更客觀的視角,看清自己與當下情境。
閱讀這本書,決策者將體驗三種重要的技巧:自我抽離、空間抽離,以及時間抽離,學會用第三者的角度審視局勢,想像自己站在更遠的地方,從宏觀角度審視情境,設想未來的自己將如何回顧今日的決策,以改變我們對自我、目前處境與未來行動方向的認知。
書中結合了引人入勝的科學研究、商業案例與實踐指南,幫助領導者在面臨壓力時,快速切換視角,在充滿變動的世界中擁有更清晰的判斷力、更強的韌性,成為自己最好的教練,帶領團隊與自己持續突破。(文/博客來編譯)

Distance gives you perspective. Bestselling author of Turn the Ship Around! former US Navy Captain David Marquet and professor of psychology Michael Gillespie show you how to make better decisions by becoming your own coach.
Be yourself. Be fully present. Be in the moment. This is a message we hear constantly. While this may be beneficial some of the time, the biggest obstacle to making wiser decisions that actually drive lasting success is ourselves. Being fully immersed in our own limited point of view biases our decisions toward defending our previous actions and maintaining our self-image. We need to exit our me-here-and-now self and get an outside perspective that sees us and the situation we are in objectively. We need a coach.
This book shows us how to become our own coach by using a mental technique called psychological distancing. We do this in three ways: self-distancing, spatial distancing, and temporal distancing. First, we can be someone else, inhabiting another’s perspective. This activates the neutral observer’s outside point of view. Second, we can be somewhere else. We zoom out and see ourselves from afar, as just another person who is part of a larger context. Third, we can be sometime else, imagining that we are our future selves who are thinking back to what we wish we had done today. In each case, we can coach ourselves from this distanced perspective. The result is a powerful and immediate reframe of how we see ourselves, our situation, and what we should do.
Featuring compelling scientific research, business cases, and exercises, Distancing equips us with effective practical tools to reduce anxiety, see more clearly, and make better decisions for ourselves and for our organizations.
