Financial turmoil, 9/11 terrorist attack, SONY recession, Facebook rise ...

These seemingly unrelated, but they all have one common point that has been seriously neglected-the barn effect!

Although the barn keeps the world in order, when everyone lives in their own small circle,

It will lead to unknowable workability, invisible crisis, and serious mistakes.

Why can't smart masters see obvious risks and opportunities?

To understand these issues thoroughly, you must first be aware of the "Barn Effect"!

Gillian, the executive editor of the Financial Times, has won many awards. Gillian Tett pointed out,

The barn effect is a cultural phenomenon, mainly because of our division of labor and classification system,

She found that the barn effect is ubiquitous, and exists not only in social organizations, but also in the individual's heart and the Internet.

Therefore, if we want to break the "barn", we must subvert the thinking of management and psychology and analyze it from the perspective of anthropology.

She presents three real cases of being hurt by the barn and five real benefits from the barn-

Sony: Excessive division of labor weakens innovation and leads to company decline.

UBS Group: The classification system is upside down and chaotic, and it is in deep financial crisis.

Bank of England: Economists are overconfident in their profession and turn a blind eye to the crisis at hand.

New York City Government: Keep the office space open and force employees to work together to break down the barn.

Chicago Police Department: Get rid of your personal barn, switch from the technology industry to the police world, and apply what you have learned.

Facebook: Through community experiments, break the boundaries between class and team, instead of seeking efficiency, but more creative.

Cleveland Clinic Medical Center: Subvert the traditional medical classification system and become an example for the medical community.

Blue Mountain Hedge Fund: Flexible use of strategies to profit from banks that were harmed by the barn.

Finally, she believes that instead of studying anthropology, as long as you learn the six principles, you can be like a personal scientist,

Let you have both internal and external vision, avoid risks, and grasp opportunities.

This book spans government, business, technology, medical, police, finance and other fields, showing that the barn effect is omnipresent,

But as long as you understand the world from an anthropologist's perspective,

You can drive the barn, avoid losing competitiveness, think from a different perspective, and continue to innovate. ^[2]

"The word Silo is well-known. During my tenure as a foreign businessman, I was often reminded by foreign executives that they have instilled the concept of leaders of companies around the world to break the concept of barn. The reason is that they are afraid of the huge organizational system between departments. Seeing only their own interests, hiding in their own barn, creating a narrow vision, unwilling to cooperate across departments, hindering the growth of the company. Although the barn phenomenon exists in various companies or organizations, if managers can encourage employees to go out of the barn, Seeing a complete picture of the organization's vision and mission, open-mindedness, and cooperation with others, then this company is absolutely vibrant and competitive.
