Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book explores how functional stupidity - uncritical and unreflective thinking within prescribed, constrained ways - is institutionalized and why we should minimize it in workplaces.How did our organizations become stagnant, and what can be done to revive them? Contemporary societal and organizational noise, extensive bureaucratization, silo thinking, imitation, bullshit talk, and meaningless meetings are destructive to workplaces. This book explains how we got here and shows escape routes through more independent thinking and speaking up. With spotlights on individual and organizational strategies to combat stupidity, various structures and practices to mobilize support are illuminated.A provocative and entertaining read, this book will be practically useful reading for anyone interested in making organizations more effective.
