영화와 책 - 예고편의 두 얼굴
2024. 10. 21

영화의 예고편은 디테일할 수록 스포일러가 되어 본 영화 감상에 방해가 됩니다. 하지만 도서의 경우는 정반대입니다. 다른 사람이 유튜브 등에 올린 요약본을 먼저 보고 책을 읽으면 오히려 이해가 쉽고 더 빨리 읽히는 장점이 있습니다. 영화는 감성의 흐름이 중요한 반면에 도서는 정보의 획득이 중요하기 때문이 아닐까 생각이 됩니다. 

우리회사에서는 승급심사제도가 있어서 각 단계별로 지정된 도서를 읽고 PTT 발표를 해야하는 과제가 주어집니다. 업무하기도 바쁜데 책을 읽으려니 독서를 좋아하지 않는 사람들에게는 고역이 될 수도 있겠다 싶습니다. 그래서 그 노력의 부담을 줄이기 위해서 유튜브 요약 영상을 여러개 찾아 보고 책의 내용을 대강 파악한 다음에 읽기를 권하고 있습니다. 이게 약간 편법처럼 보일 수는 있는데 경험상 훨씬 효율적이고 효과적인 방법이라 생각이 됩니다. (단, 유튜브만 보고 PPT를 만들면 다 알게 되기에 그러지는 마시기를...)

영화에서는 결말을 알려 주는 것이 대단한 실례이지만, 책은 결말을 알려주는 것이 좋은 도움이 됩니다. 소셜미디어 시대에 독서의 방법 또한 변화하고 있는 것이 분명합니다. 

세상은 넓고 읽을 책은 널려 있습니다. 독서하지 않고 실력을 키울 수는 없는 거 같습니다. 실력 향상을 원한다면 책을 읽지 않고는 가능하지 않을 거 같습니다.

ChatGPT에게 Good To Great 책을 요약해 달라고 했습니다. 아래와 같이 요약해 주네요. Amazing!
 

Here’s a chapter-by-chapter summary of Good to Great by Jim Collins:

Chapter 1: Good is the Enemy of Great

  • Main Idea: The concept that being "good" can actually prevent companies from becoming "great." Many organizations settle for being good enough rather than striving for greatness.
  • Key Takeaways:
    • Great companies are rare because most companies accept mediocrity.
    • Greatness requires focused effort and disciplined people, thought, and action.

Chapter 2: Level 5 Leadership

  • Main Idea: Great companies have leaders who are humble yet driven, focused on the success of the company rather than personal success. These leaders possess a mix of personal humility and professional will.
  • Key Takeaways:
    • These leaders often shy away from public attention.
    • They are ambitious for the company, not themselves, and credit success to others while taking responsibility for failures.

Chapter 3: First Who, Then What

  • Main Idea: Before determining a strategy or vision, great companies focus on getting the right people in place. It’s not just about having a vision but about having the right team.
  • Key Takeaways:
    • The right people don’t need to be tightly managed.
    • Once the right team is in place, they can figure out where to go and how to get there.
    • Mediocre employees can derail even a well-conceived plan.

Chapter 4: Confront the Brutal Facts

  • Main Idea: Great companies confront the harsh realities of their situations, no matter how difficult or unpleasant the facts might be. At the same time, they maintain unwavering faith that they will prevail in the end.
  • Key Takeaways:
    • The Stockdale Paradox: Face the brutal facts while retaining belief in long-term success.
    • Companies must create a culture where people can be heard and the truth can be openly discussed.

Chapter 5: The Hedgehog Concept

  • Main Idea: Great companies focus on one simple, unifying strategy that emerges from the intersection of three key circles: what they are passionate about, what they can be the best at, and what drives their economic engine.
  • Key Takeaways:
    • Focused simplicity and clarity are key.
    • Companies need to avoid getting distracted by opportunities outside of their Hedgehog Concept.
    • Example: Walgreens focused solely on convenience in retail locations and achieved tremendous success.

Chapter 6: A Culture of Discipline

  • Main Idea: Great companies combine disciplined people with disciplined thought and disciplined action. These companies have a culture of entrepreneurship but within a framework of discipline.
  • Key Takeaways:
    • Disciplined people don’t need bureaucracy.
    • Disciplined companies can stay focused on their core activities without being distracted by trends or shiny new ideas.

Chapter 7: Technology Accelerators

  • Main Idea: Technology alone doesn’t make a company great, but when used effectively, it can act as an accelerator for growth.
  • Key Takeaways:
    • Great companies adopt technology that enhances their Hedgehog Concept.
    • Technology is used to improve performance but is not the primary driver of success.
    • It is more about how technology is applied, not the technology itself.

Chapter 8: The Flywheel and the Doom Loop

  • Main Idea: Success comes from consistent and cumulative effort. Like turning a heavy flywheel, it takes time to build momentum, but once it starts, it becomes almost unstoppable.
  • Key Takeaways:
    • Success is about small, incremental steps rather than dramatic, one-time actions.
    • Companies in the “Doom Loop” look for short-term fixes and quick transformations, which leads to failure.

Chapter 9: From Good to Great to Built to Last

  • Main Idea: The final chapter looks at how companies that make the leap from good to great can continue to build enduring greatness.
  • Key Takeaways:
    • Great companies evolve over time, but they remain focused on their core principles.
    • The book bridges to Collins' earlier work, Built to Last, suggesting that great companies endure through discipline, leadership, and strategic focus.
