The Checklist Manifesto
Inhaltsangabe
The New York Times best-selling author of Better and Complications reveals the surprising power of the ordinary checklist.
We live in a world of great and increasing complexity, where even the most expert professionals struggle to master the tasks they face. Longer training, ever more advanced technologies - neither seems to prevent grievous errors. But in a hopeful turn, acclaimed surgeon and writer Atul Gawande finds a remedy in the humblest and simplest of techniques: the checklist. First introduced decades ago by the U.S. Air Force, checklists have enabled pilots to fly aircraft of mind-boggling sophistication. Now innovative checklists are being adopted in hospitals around the world, helping doctors and nurses respond to everything from flu epidemics to avalanches. Even in the immensely complex world of surgery, a simple 90-second variant has cut the rate of fatalities by more than a third.
In riveting stories, Gawande takes us from Austria, where an emergency checklist saved a drowning victim who had spent half an hour underwater, to Michigan, where a cleanliness checklist in intensive care units virtually eliminated a type of deadly hospital infection. He explains how checklists actually work to prompt striking and immediate improvements. And he follows the checklist revolution into fields well beyond medicine, from disaster response to investment banking, skyscraper construction, and businesses of all kinds.
An intellectual adventure in which lives are lost and saved and one simple idea makes a tremendous difference, The Checklist Manifesto is essential for anyone working to get things right.

Erfüllt nicht die Erwartungen
Das Buch widmet sich viel zu ausführlich der Einführung der Checklisten im medizinischen Bereich. Einzelne Anwendungen außerhalb der Medizin werden angerissen, jedoch nur sehr exemplarisch. Übertragung auf den eigenen Aktivitätsbereich bleibt dem Hörer zur Gänze überlassen. Von etwas, dass ich als Manifest versteht erwartet man da mehr. Zudem erinnert die Audioqualität an alte Musikkassetten.

Should be required reading in school
Fantastic book about the power of checklists. Terrifying stories of plane crashes and surgical problems underpin the necessity of taking checklists seriously. Should be required reading in school.

Great motivation for using check lists. Lots of ex
Great motivation for using checklists. Lots of experience reports. Good story of how the author himself was motivated to try out and use checklists.
From the title "manifesto" I expected some more insights and guidelines for creating those. Those insights are there, but somehow scattered. A concluding checklist on how to do checklists would have been an amazing final chapter.
So 1 star less for the (as I find it) misleading title. I recommend it even more though as it is not only a technical introduction but has a compelling story.

Eye-opening
at the end of this book a story is that of of a Operation that nearly went wrong but was saved due to the Checklist. Invisaging the scene made me feel a bit odd... however the outcome was lovely. Remarkable the humility of the writer. I wish I could implement checklists in every part of our company. Although this is not realistic I will introduce them for my own life.

Essential!
This is a very interesting view on our professions as a whole and maybe something we all could or should build and improve upon. It was also surprisingly entertaining with all the interesting real world examples. Highly recommended!

Great way to learn from other fields of business.
I found it interesting to understand how processes are structured in other lines of business and understand what can be applied in your own industry and/or specific business.

By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy - instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing - it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

When Cal Newport coined the term deep work on his popular blog, Study Hacks, in 2012, he found the concept quickly hit a nerve.

In business, the right behaviors matter. But getting it right is tricky. Even when we acknowledge the need to change what we do and how we do it, life has a habit of getting in the way, upsetting even the best-laid plans. And just how do we manage those situations that can provoke even the most rational among us into behaving in ways we would rather forget?

In Super Bowl XLIX, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made one of the most controversial calls in football history: With 26 seconds remaining, and trailing by four at the Patriots' one-yard line, he called for a pass instead of a handing off to his star running back. The pass was intercepted, and the Seahawks lost. Critics called it the dumbest play in history. But was the call really that bad? Or did Carroll actually make a great move that was ruined by bad luck? Even the best decision doesn't yield the best outcome every time.

Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Our lives are a never-ending stream of "when" decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork. Timing, it's often assumed, is an art. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink shows that timing is really a science.

Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of carrying only opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends - why the world's population is increasing; how many young women go to school; how many of us live in poverty - we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers.

All our lives are constrained by limited space and time, limits that give rise to a particular set of problems. What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What balance of new activities and familiar favorites is the most fulfilling? These may seem like uniquely human quandaries, but they are not: computers, too, face the same constraints, so computer scientists have been grappling with their version of such problems for decades.
