Recommendation

According to an old adage, “necessity is the mother of invention.” Business professor Scott Sonenshein presents his well-researched contribution to this “less is more” school of thought. The lecture, based on the eponymous book, includes several colorful anecdotes but otherwise lacks pizzazz. Nevertheless, getAbstract recommends you stay for the duration as Sonenshein uncovers useful ways to improve success, creativity and happiness.

Take-Aways

  • You don’t need more resources to improve your results. Instead, make better use of what you have.
  • Perceiving that you have minimal resources makes you innovative and resourceful, which is why firms with ample resources find it hard to maintain these qualities.
  • “Stretching” involves finding new, creative uses for existing resources and focusing on your goals rather than comparing your assets with what others have.
