1. 清楚意識到您的創新意圖
2. 為彈性的工作時間設計一個架構
３、涉入，然後再把手收回去
4. 測量什麼是有意義的
5. 給予「無實質價值」的報酬
6. 象徵化
7. 不是標準化地複製他人的創新行為

http://www.inside.com.tw/2014/01/15/6-way-innovation-culture http://www.fastcodesign.com[..]6-ways-to-create-a-culture-of-innovation


1. 在公司裡跟別人吐露的心事越少，對你越好。你以為是無傷大雅的閑聊，其實有可能會造成嚴重傷害。把你的猜測和擔憂都埋在心裡吧。

2. 務必管理好和下屬的關系。花時間和公司裡的較低層員工在一起，盡量對他們友好。對電梯操作員禮貌問候，對郵遞員表示感謝，對助理說句友善的話，這些都會得到讚賞。打造名譽要從基層做起。同樣的，碰到不爽的事情，要自己消化情緒，不要在別人面前發泄。

3. 做領導是一份全職工作，職責的時鐘永不停止。每個微小的跡象都會被解讀，你的不耐煩、失望或不安全感都會被那些解讀你的人放大。不應做出隨意、毫無準備的坦白，信息必須經過深思熟慮才能發出。要特別小心書面的東西，尤其是電子郵件──它們永遠都不會消失。

4. 保持聆聽並索取建議。每周至少在公司餐廳吃一次午飯，或者時不時在咖啡機旁逗留，聽聽其他人都在聊些什麼。如果有人想跟你說話，那就沒有理由不聽。如果有人批評，即使你不讚同也要花時間仔細回應。

5. 你覺得很風趣的俏皮話通常並不風趣。你的幽默感很容易被解讀為自傲和笨拙。如果你仍然以為講笑話或引用某個幽默故事對陳述觀點很重要，那麼請先跟你的配偶或信任的朋友演練一遍。幽默是有風險的。千萬不要拿嚴肅的事情開玩笑。

6. 很重要的一點是，保証重要事務的重要性。應該經常解釋你的戰略，可以換個措辭，但要反復強調。

7. 絕不要抱怨和解釋，沒有人會聽。出了差錯就承擔責任。不要把錯誤怪到前幾屆管理層、天氣、運氣不好或競爭對手身上。但也不要露出防御姿態。向前看──除非上級要求你辭職。

8. 信任你的專業顧問，接受他們的專業意見。不要對市場做過多猜測。沒有所謂的完美數據。做出決策，往前走。

9. 謹慎使用“平均”這個詞──平均深度為6英寸河也可能淹死人。欣然接受“平均”，只會獲得虛假的安全感。假設最糟糕的情況會發生，因為通常就是如此。

10. 最後這條是陳詞濫調，但卻是至理真言：絕不要做或說你不希望在報紙頭條看到的事情。和媒體打交道時，不要回答假設性的問題，謹記麥克風永遠不會真正關閉，絕不要同意“私下”談。對一場危機唯一值得做的公開回應是誠實。

【吾通吾識】保住個腎好重要 食水果都幫到你

1. 荔枝
現正是荔枝上市的季節，它含豐富的果膠，葡萄糖，鈣，鐵，胡蘿蔔素，各種維生素和粗纖維等成份，是男人補腎必吃的水果之一。而它亦有健身養顏的功效。除了果肉之外，將荔枝核打碎後加水煎，堅持服用也能起到補腎效果。

2. 葡萄
葡萄營養豐富，具有抗衰老，促進消化，防癌，滋補等多種功效，多吃葡萄可幫助恢復自由基，對恢復女性的身體健康具有很大的幫助。如有前列腺，或者小便短赤的問題，可用新鮮的去皮葡萄，弄爛後加開水每日飲用，就可起到很好的治療效果。

3. 桑葚
又稱桑果或桑棗，生吃或煮熟吃都有很好的補肝和益腎等作用。此外，它亦能提高人體免疫力，所以可適當的多吃一點。據說桑葚是皇室御用補品，中醫亦稱它為藥食兼用的滋補中藥，在民間更有「男人果」的美稱。

4. 奇異果
奇異果含有清促進素，可幫助穩定情緒和安神。它亦有豐富的膳食纖維，對美容，促進心臟健康和排便等都有幫助。把它整個弄碎，用溫開水送服，還可輔助治療男人的前列腺炎和補腎氣。

其實補腎不止是男人的事，如果女性腎虛，同樣會對身體產生很大影響，所以不管男女，平時除了要多吃這些補腎的水果外，還要堅持做有氧運動，多休息和注意均衡飲食，這樣才能促進身體健康。

Grapefruit has a high volume of compounds called furanocoumarins, which are designed to protect the fruit from fungal infections. When you ingest grapefruit, those furanocoumarins permanently take your cytochrome P450 enzymes offline. There’s no coming back. Grapefruit is powerful, and those cytochromes are donezo. So the body, when it encounters grapefruit, basically sighs, throws up its hands, and starts producing entirely new sets of cytochrome P450s. This can take over 12 hours. - https://www.atlasobscura.com[..]grapefruit-history-and-drug-interactions

It’s possible to divide the world in two: the part that venerates the humble-seeming fruit known as the date, and the part that does not. The part that does is home to hundreds of millions of people, from the Atlantic coast of Morocco across North Africa and Egypt to Mesopotamia and east to India. In this part of the world there aren’t really “dates,” because only a philistine would speak in such generalizations. There’s the plump sugar-bomb medjool, the chewy khalas beloved of Emirati connoisseurs, sweet and sticky Saudi sukkary, tart yellow barhi peeled and eaten fresh, the varieties picked early, called rutab, and served frozen with coffee at the upscale cafés of Riyadh or Abu Dhabi. There’s ajwa from Medina, said to be the favorite of the Prophet, the dark Persian kimia, the translucent deglet noor, and many others with evocative names like halawi or Sagai VIP. - https://www.smithsonianmag.com[..]sweet-sticky-history-the-date-180980983/

Your grandchildren may live in a world without work, but you won't; instead you will live in a world that is rapidly changing. Whatever you choose to do, learning to code will be a very valuable skill, even if you don't do it for a living, because knowing the basic logic of machines will be critical in thriving in our society as it adapts to the ever-growing powers of machines. - https://www.economist.com[..]i-until-we-build-systems-that-earn-trust
