Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What if the problem at work isn't the people? What if it's the walls between them?Alex thought she was starting a normal job. Instead she tumbled into Workingland, where meetings go in circles, approval processes multiply like rabbits, and everyone is terrified of a VP called Quinn Hart, who responds to failure with three words: "Off with their headcount!"In this sharp, warm workplace satire inspired by the Lewis Carroll classic, Alex discovers something that changes how she sees every organisation she will ever work in. People are not the problem. The interference between them is.Follow Alex through meetings that accomplish nothing, past a Cheshire-grinning stranger who only ever points at the obvious, and into conference rooms that transform without warning into croquet grounds and courtrooms. Along the way she learns to spot the Four Walls of Interference standing in every workplace: - Cognitive - complexity that obscures rather than clarifies- Emotional - fear that prevents honesty- Structural - process that blocks natural collaboration- Leadership - control that suppresses autonomyNaming a wall is one thing. Bringing it down is another. And the people who built the walls are still in the building.Perfect for readers who: - Recognise the absurdity in their own workplace- Want organisational change without another framework- Believe people are smarter than the systems around them- Would rather read a story than a business bookBorn Agile isn't a methodology. It's a remembering. People are naturally agile. Organisations just make them forget.Welcome to Workingland. The walls are coming down.
