The book concludes by engaging with pressing issues facing expertise, including the impact of AI. Student-friendly pedagogy is featured throughout, including 'Spotlight on...', 'Check it out...', and 'Consider this...' boxes to position material within context and engage student's learning. Whether revealing how an actor brings their part to life, how writers conjure up their storylines and vibrant characters, or what lies behind scientific invention, The Psychology of Creative Performance and Expertise offers a fascinating insight into the multifaceted journey towards achieving creative excellence.

Managing Professional People
Author: Albert Shapero
language: en
Publisher: New York : Free Press ; London : Collier Macmillan
Release Date: 1985
Arguing that professional work--in R&D, advertising, engineering, public relations, accounting, publishing, law, computer programming--is always changing, unpredictable, person-dominated, and tough to budget, Shapero sets out proven guidelines and innovative suggestions for hiring, motivating, evaluating, and nurturing creative workers. He demonstrates that hiring criteria such as college grades, IQ, references, appearance, and interviews have almost no bearing on predicting professional performance and offers explicit criteria for what the employer should seek. Other topics are: motivating professionals; evaluating their performance; managing information resources necessary to the quality and productivity of their work; coping with the problems of technical obsolescence, "burnout" and "midcareer crisis" that can cut the productive life of the professional; and negative and positive aspects of creativity.
