Key takeaways — The Righteous Mind
- ✓ Gamitin ang Theory of Moral Foundations sa pagpapalago ng kultura ng iyong organisasyon, tiyaking umaayon ang misyon nito sa anim na pangunahing halaga ng tao upang mas mapalakas ang suporta ng mga empleyado.
- ✓ Unahin ang Elepante (Intuwisyon) sa iyong estratehikong komunikasyon, alamin na tatanggapin lamang ng tao ang iyong mga lohikal na argumento (Rider) kung nakakaramdam sila ng emosyonal na pagkakaugnay sa iyong layunin.
- ✓ Paigtingin ang Hive-Level Cooperation sa iyong koponan gamit ang mga karaniwang simbolo at laban, tulad ng mga suliranin sa merkado, na sumasalamin sa likas na pang-agham na drive ng tao para sa kolektibong moral na pagkilos.
Key takeaways — The Intelligent Investor
- ✓ Isabuhay ang prinsipyo ng Margin of Safety sa bawat pamumuhunan, na nangangahulugang bibili ka ng mga ari-arian na may malaking discount sa kanilang tunay na halaga upang maprotektahan laban sa posibleng pagkalugi.
- ✓ Gamitin ang Mr. Market sa iyong pabor sa pamamagitan ng pagbili kapag siya ay makulit na pessimistic at pagbebenta kapag siya ay sobra-sobrang optimistic, sa halip na sundin ang emosyon niya.
- ✓ Isabagay ang pananaw ng isang Defensive Investor, na nakatuon sa sistematikong pagpili ng mataas na kalidad na mga negosyo na undervalued at pagpapanatili ng isang balanseng, diversified na portfolio.
