"It is always an individual who is the impetus for innovation; the details may be worked out by a team, but true innovation results from the enterprise and unique perception of an individual."
syllabus:
1.革新的动力来自于个人
2.革新的动力来自于团队 例子:革命是个好例子,比如Civil War
3个人和团队并非是矛盾的,真正的true innovation 是个人的创新+整个社会的气候 例子:文艺复兴和其中的牛人
4 对于现在我们这个社会,个人职责和团队精神尤为重要
Nowadays, with a more competitive and cooperative society, there is debate over the two hot words: teamwork and individual. When it comes to innovation, someone holds the opinion that only the working of individual ensure the achievement of innovation. However, without the teamwork, I doubt whether innovation could be carried out successfully. That is, the effectiveness of innovation results from the impetus of individual as well as teamwork.
In the first place, I admit that most amazing creative ideas and marvelous inventions in our history have been the results of individual's creation. And that’s reason why Nobel prize is awarded to those who individually made great contribution to our human society. Let us get down to the fundamental cases in history book and we can find so many examples: Newton’s gravity of law is such; Edison’s electric bulb is such; and so is Maria Curie’s discovery of uranium. In addition, more convincing evidence could be found in the area of arts and literature, which is just based on the artists’ personal experience as well as their unique way of interpretation of the world. For example, Van Gogh, the representative of Postimpressionism, betrayed the traditional genre of painting to draw in his own way and become famous even posthumously. For them, they are solely responsible for their own success and failure by their independent and creative works. In this sense, it is just the individual inspiration and unique perception that result in breakthrough and invention.
However, when we emphasize the key role played by individuals, we should not neglect the importance of team work. After all, no one would live without others, it is almost impossible for individual to make great innovation depending on his/her own effort. The revolution is exact such example showing the significance of group work. The Civil War, as we all know,led by one of American's greatest Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, was markede as the milestone for the start to emancipate the slaves in the South. But even such great leader can not by himself decide the success of the war, it is only by the large number of people supporting him that makes the North win the war.
As a matter of fact, we should realize that teamwork and individual enterprise are not necessarily exclusive, as the speaker assumed. In fact, they can operate harmoniously with each other to bring about true innovation. A good case in point is the Renaissance, during which time humanism was introduced and replace the regalism ever prevailed in the Middle ages of Europe. Probably no one would deny there existed a great amount of versatile artists who created enormous masterpieces at that time , for example, Da Vinci’s famous paintings “Mona Lisa” and “The last mea”; Michelangelo’s well-known sculpture “David” . They are all famous individuals, but are just a part of the Renaissance, which means they cannot lead to great innovation individually. It is because of the group work of so many excellent humanists that lead to the huge innovation of Renainssance.
In nowadays’ world, it is even more important to emphasize the team work spirit as well as the invidual enterprise. Generally speaking, in our society in which the work is divided minutely, it is almost impossible for individuals to make great innovation depending on his or her own capability. For example, the accomplishment and innovation of LSI( Large Scale Integration) needs the cooperation of large number of members who take charge in only a small portion of it respectively. But only if every member of the team has its own responsibility, individual's enterprise and unique perception can be aroused and therefore the effectiveness of teamwork begins to emerge.
In conclusion, we should not rashly assert which element plays great role in determining innovation. what we should do is to keep a balance between individual's perception and team work's cooperation. Any emphasize on each side is equally dangerous to the innovation even to the society. And for this issue, true innovation results from both the enterprise, perception of individual and the effort from the team work.
