Are you a fan of reading articles from business schools and big management consulting firms? Then this book might just be right up your street. The back cover gives a good hint of what you might expect:

“Business is working in tunnel vision… organisations are now fully prepared for the past... A flipping point in the trend for adopting absurd management ideas needs to be reached. Management needs to be deprogrammed.”

To understand the link between how big management consultants, business schools and CEOs are creating what he calls “colossal groupthink”, then you need to read this book.

So, this book opens with a fantastic question, “Would you rather fight a horse-sized duck or a hundred duck-sized horses?”, a question apparently asked of President Obama. For me, this sets the tone for the rest of the book – drawing you in from the start with a different lens on change to the typical books I’ve read on this subject.
