The Rise of the Creative Class, Revisited

Richard Florida
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

Initially published in 2002, The Rise of the Creative Class quickly achieved classic status for its identification of forces then only beginning to reshape our economy, geography, and workplace. Weaving story-telling with original research, Richard Florida identified a fundamental shift linking a host of seemingly unrelated changes in American society: the growing importance of creativity in people’s work lives and the emergence of a class of people unified by their engagement in creative work. Millions of us were beginning to work and live much as creative types like artists and scientists always had, Florida observed, and this Creative Class was determining how the workplace was organized, what companies would prosper or go bankrupt, and even which cities would thrive.

In The Rise of the Creative Class Revisited, Florida further refines his occupational, demographic, psychological, and economic profile of the Creative Class, incorporates a decade of research, and adds five new chapters covering the global effects of the Creative Class and exploring the factors that shape “quality of place” in our changing cities and suburbs.

舒衡哲女士1979－1980年曾作為首批美國留學生在北京大學中文系學習，她訪問了當時仍在世的“新青年一代的知識分子”：許德珩、俞平伯、葉聖陶、朱光潛、馮友蘭、金岳霖、張申府和梁漱溟，也訪問了諸多“五四”那一輩所教導出來的學生們、當時六十多歲的知識分子。在序言中，她最後說：“我領悟到了我十年來始終未曾真正掌握的‘五四運動’的意義——隻要專制、官僚和教條主義的思想仍然盤踞在政治領導人和民眾的腦袋中，啟蒙運動必將在中國繼續發展下去，無論路途是多麼的曲折，代價是多麼的高昂。”

Lead with a Story: A Guide to Crafting Business Narratives That Captivate, Convince, and Inspire

Storytelling has come of age in the business world. Today, many of the most successful companies use storytelling as a leadership tool. At Nike, all senior executives are designated "corporate storytellers." 3M banned bullet points years ago and replaced them with a process of writing "strategic narratives." Procter & Gamble hired Hollywood directors to teach its executives storytelling techniques. Some forward-thinking business schools have even added storytelling courses to their management curriculum. The reason for this is simple: stories have the ability to engage an audience the way logic and bullet points alone never could. Whether you are trying to communicate a vision, sell an idea, or inspire commitment, storytelling is a powerful business tool that can mean the difference between mediocre results and phenomenal success. "Lead with a Story" contains both ready-to-use stories and how-to guidance for readers looking to craft their own. Designed for a wide variety of business challenges, the book shows how narrative can help: define culture and values; engender creativity and innovation; foster collaboration and build relationships; provide coaching and feedback; lead change; and more. Whether in a speech or a memo, communicated to one person or a thousand, storytelling is an essential skill for success. Complete with examples from companies like Kellogg's, Merrill-Lynch, Procter & Gamble, National Car Rental, Wal-Mart, Pizza Hut, and more, this practical resource gives readers the guidance they need to deliver stories to stunning effect.

如果你是天使:名家筆下的親情世界

人倫五情中，父母子女之情無疑要列在首位。這種源於血脈相通的親情，最熾熱，最深摯，最持久，最無私。從呱呱墜地到咿呀學語再到長大成人，我們誰不是一直沐浴在父母溫靄如滿月般愛的光輝中？愛給了我們生命，愛又使這生命之芽蓬勃成一棵大樹。而當進入生命的晚境，夕陽將逝，又是兒女的愛撫慰了我們那顆寂寞的心。正是這種一代代延續不已的愛，支撐起了整個人類。《如果你是天使—名家筆下的親情世界》，便蒐集了數十篇這樣的佳構。不論是父母的愛心的傾吐，還是兒女的愛意的表白，無不情真意切，讀來令人動容。朱自清的《背影》，擷取送行途中的一個場面，反覆描寫年邁的父親“蹣跚”、“肥胖”的背影，仿佛電影中的特寫鏡頭，父親的一腔愛意凝注其間，幾十年來曾逗惹出讀者多少滾燙的眼淚。汪曾祺的《多年父子成兄弟》相比之下則寫得從容、平靜、不溫不火，然而那是腴後之枯，濃後之淡，語淺而情深，作者對父親的愛並不因文字的朴質而稍減半分。同是抒寫親子之情，豐子愷《給我的孩子們》直抒胸臆，將對無邪童心的讚美表達得淋漓盡致，也透露出對他們長大後將失卻天真、“不復值得憧憬”的憂慮，拳拳愛心可謂一覽無遺；余光中《我的四個假想敵》則蹊徑獨辟，通過四個正值妙齡的愛女芳心有屬這樣一種假定的情境，展開議論抒情，將為父者既高興又擔心父愛將無所依傍的亦喜亦憂的矛盾心境，寫得躍然紙上，出語風趣幽默，令人忍俊不禁。其他諸作，也莫不姚黃魏紫，各臻其妙，父母辛苦鞠育之恩，兒女湧泉相報之情，字字情真，句句意切，篇篇感人。
