Heroes

Wie entstehen heldenhafte Ideen? Und wie kann eine Krise Innovation befeuern? Um diese Fragen dreht sich das HERO MODELL, mit dem in diesem Buch auf verst?ndliche Weise erkl?rt wird, wie Innovation entsteht. «Innovation Heroes» zieht zudem Parallelen zum Projekt «Local Hero», das w?hrend der COVID-19-Krise Innovation bef?rderte und selbst zum innovativen Grosserfolg wurde. Und es weist auf Analogien zu Superheldengeschichten hin, denn daraus kann viel ?ber Innovation gelernt werden. Das Resultat dieser Erz?hlstr?nge ist ein sowohl unterhaltsames als auch praxisnah inspirierendes Buch.

Эрнест Сетон-Томпсон (1860-1946) - канадский и американский писатель, художник и естествоиспытатель, один из первых защитников политических и культурных прав индейцев и основателей движения скаутов в США. Потомок старинного дворянского рода, Эрнест родился в Великобритании, а когда мальчику было шесть лет, его семья переехала в Канаду. Здесь он полюбил проводить время в лесах, наблюдая за жизнью диких зверей и птиц. Это увлечение Эрнест сохранил на всю жизнь. Он много путешествовал по Америке, рисовал животных и писал книги про дикую природу, впоследствии повлиявшие на многих писателей-анималистов. "Животные-герои" - сборник рассказов писателя о смелых обитателях улиц, лесов и прерий: кролике Джеке, который тринадцать раз убегал от борзых, почтовом голубе Арно, спасавшем жизни людей, трущобной кошке, которая предпочла родные задворки шелковым подушкам, и многих других. Увлекательные истории Сетон-Томпсона полны искренней любви к братьям нашим меньшим, которые так же, как и мы, страдают, борются, любят, а иногда и ведут себя как настоящие герои.
