Power Of Post-it

Aiden Feynman

Sinopsis

"Power of Post-it" uncovers the fascinating journey of how a laboratory accident at 3M became one of the world's most ubiquitous office tools, while revealing deeper insights about innovation and workplace productivity.

 
The book masterfully weaves together the story of Dr. Spencer Silver's 1968 discovery of a unique adhesive and its transformation into the iconic Post-it Note through a combination of corporate culture, scientific inquiry, and practical workplace needs. Through detailed research and corporate archives, the book explores three interconnected themes: the role of innovation culture in product development, the science of visual information processing, and how simple tools can dramatically impact workplace efficiency.

 
A particularly compelling aspect is 3M's progressive policy of allowing scientists to dedicate 15% of their time to personal projects, which created the environment where this "failed" experiment could eventually find its revolutionary application. The six-year journey from initial discovery to practical implementation serves as a powerful lesson in how transformative innovation often emerges from unexpected sources.

 
The book progresses logically from the scientific and corporate origins through to the product's influence on organizational behavior and modern workplace practices. By examining extensive corporate documentation, scientific research, and interviews with key figures, it offers valuable insights for business leaders and innovation managers while remaining accessible to general readers.

 
The analysis extends into the digital age, exploring how this simple paper tool has influenced the design of collaborative software and continues to shape our approach to information management and creative problem-solving.

Major Trade-Offs - The...

Corey Moss-Pech

An eye-opening look at the relationship between students’ majors and their entry-level jobs.Humanities majors are used to answering the question, “So, what are you going to do with that degree?” The common misconception is that students in humanities programs don’t learn any useful skills for the real world. In Major Trade-Offs, Corey Moss-Pech argues that not only do humanities majors learn real-world skills, but they actually use them when they graduate. Despite this discrepancy, graduates with so-called practical degrees like business and engineering are much more likely to find employment, and they earn higher salaries. Why do we belittle a liberal arts education despite the valuable skills that students acquire during their studies?

Major Trade-Offs addresses this question by following students from different majors as they enter the workforce. Moss-Pech conducted nearly 200 interviews with roughly ninety students from four majors at a large Midwestern university: engineering, business, English, and communications. He follows these students through their senior years, chronicling their internships and the support their universities provide in helping them pursue their career paths. Graduates from practical majors entered the labor market successfully, typically through structured internship programs. However, many ended up in entry-level jobs that were largely clerical and didn’t necessarily require a degree to perform. Liberal arts majors rarely accessed structured internships and were largely left to carve out their own paths, but used their degree skills once they secured a job. This challenges the popular myths about the “marketability” of these different majors and offers a new vision for the future of higher education.

Major Trade-Offs calls on colleges and universities to advocate for liberal arts majors, leveling the playing field for students as they plan for entry-level work.

The Necessary Journey - Making...

Ella F. Washington

"What does a workplace utopia look like to you?" This is the question Dr. Ella F. Washington asks company leaders, and often she hears about an ideal vision of an organization that values diversity and inclusion and wants employees to bring their whole selves to work. 
 
 
 
But how can you get there? Organizations have largely missed the mark when it comes to creating environments where all employees thrive in an equal and equitable way, because they treat diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a program that gets done rather than the necessary and difficult journey it is. 
 
 
 
The road to an inclusive workplace is a difficult one, but you can traverse it, and there's help along the way. Start here with stories of companies making the necessary journey, including Slack, PwC, Best Buy, Denny's, and many others. Hear from company leaders about their successes and failures, the times they were on the vanguard, and the moments they realized they had much more work to do. These are profiles in perseverance from people who are keen enough to recognize the need for inclusive workplaces and humble enough to know they're not there yet. Along the way, Washington provides a framework for thinking about where these companies are on their journeys and where you and your company may be too.
