The question is, how?Lawrence Patihis at the University of Southern Mississippi recently studied around 20 people with HSAM and found that they scored particularly highly on two measures: fantasy proneness ( ' , 倾向) and absorption.

The absorption helps them to establish strong foundations for recollection, says Patihis, and the fantasy proneness means that they revisit those memories again and again in the coming weeks and months.

Team-building skills are in short supply: Deloitte reports that only 12% of the executives they contacted feel they understand the way people work together in networks and only 21% feel confident in their ability to build cross-functional teams.

Product transitions used to take five or seven years; now they take one or two.

Loosely managed teams can become hotbeds of distraction—employees routinely complain that they can't get their work done because they are forced to spend too much time in meetings or compelled to work in noisy offices.

Interestingly, their memories are highly self-centred: although they can remember autobiographical life events in extraordinary detail, they seem to be no better than average at recalling impersonal information, such as random ( ' , 任意选取的) lists of words.

Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravings ( ' , 瘾) and withdrawal symptoms before they even reached quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point.

In a challenge for manufacturers, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.

However, organisations need to learn something bigger than how to manage teams better: they need to be in the habit of asking themselves whether teams are the best tools for the job.

However, as Amy Edmondson of Harvard points out, organisations increasingly use team as a verb rather than a noun: they form teams for specific purposes and then quickly disband them.

But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.

And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they'd rather cut down gradually before quitting.

And although their memories are vast, they are still likely to suffer from false memories.

A recent study of people with HSAM reveals that they are liable to fantasy and full absorption in an activity.

A new study of 12,000 workers in 17 countries by Steelcase, a furniture-maker which also does consulting, finds that the best way to ensure employees are engaged is to give them more control over where and how they do their work—which may mean liberating them from having to do everything in collaboration with others.
