'I like listening to people who know things that I don't,'Gareth Southgate told me.'That's how you learn.'
Former Olympian and best-selling author Matthew Syed is one of the advisors Gareth Southgate engaged from outside football in order to find new ways of working as a team. In Rebel Ideas,discover how Southgate'the man with the plan'replaced 50 years of hurt with two major tournament semi-finals in three years.'
Rebel Ideas examines the power of'cognitive diversity'- the ability to think differently about the world around us.
It explains how to harness our unique perspectives,pool our collective intelligence and tackle the greatest challenges of our age - from climate change to terrorism. It draws on a dazzling range of case studies,including the catastrophic failings of the CIA before 9/11,a fatal communication breakdown on top of Mount Everest and a moving tale of deradicalisation in America's Deep South.
Rebel Ideas will strengthen any team or organisation,but has dozens of individual applications,too: from the art of reinvention to the remarkable benefits of personalised nutrition. It shows us how to become more creative,how to collaborate in a world becoming more interconnected,and how to break free of echo chambers that surround us all.
Now updated with a new chapter on the Covid-19 crisis.
