REVIEWS
The most un-bullshit laden change book I’ve ever read. Full of practical philosophy, action-oriented vision and tooled up with humanistic virtue. This is about people powering change. Doing it themselves. Feeling it and ratifying it. This book is a myth-buster and a Swiss Army knife for change.
PERRY TIMMS, Chief Energy Officer, PTHR and author of Transformational HR and The Energized Workplace
This is another great read by Neil Usher. The topic is of the utmost importance; the timing impeccable. Neil’s wittiness, deep and wide knowledge and vast practical experience permeate this new book of his. It has just been added to my list of favourites and it is a must-read for all those leading, managing, experiencing and thinking about organizational change.”
ANA NEVES, Founder, Knowman and organizer of the Social Now Conference
The key to business advantage is anticipating and navigating change – perpetual, unpredictable and interconnected. This no-nonsense book is an invaluable aid in understanding the nature of change and how to lead it successfully.

Wild Knowledge: Outthink the Revolution
Today, we live and do business in a world where society gathers knowledge faster than it gathers wisdom. It is a world of continuous revolution and change. Those who manage to find, structure and exploit the power of "Wild Knowledge" - ie, the untamed data, learnings and experiences that flourish in our lives and minds - will come out the winners. In combination, we need to develop our ability to understand and judge which aspects of that knowledge are applicable to business and life in general. This is the so-called "Vicious Wisdom" which will force you to unlearn, to choose an approach of unthinking, in order to reach a deeper understanding, meaning and reason in your quest to find new and different solutions. This book, written by a leading futurist/philosopher, presents a powerful and radical approach to thinking about and solving our future lives and businesses.

Dong Mingzhu & Gree
China's economic rise and influence have been one of the most significant developments in the global economy of recent times. A driving force behind this expansion has been the private entrepreneurs and companies of China, some of which have literally redefined the economic and business landscape, both inside and outside of China. Dong Mingzhu is one such entrepreneur. Gree Electric is one of the powerhouses of the air-conditioning industry, and owes its success to the entrepreneurial and management tenacity of Dong. As a young widow, aged 36, she travelled south and began work at Gree as an ordinary salesperson. Four years later, in 1994, she became head of sales. By 1996, she was deputy president, and by 2001, president of Gree. During this time, Dong challenged and transformed industry norms through her innovations in sales, service and employee policies. This is the story of one of China's most inspiring and innovative business leaders.

If you work in business, the chances are you have fallen under the poisonous spell of business bullshit and jargon. Very few of us seem able to avoid “reaching out”, or “walk the talk”, or “shifting paradigms”, or “think outside the box”. No longer solely the province of management consultants, investors and MBA types, business gobbledygook has mesmerized the rank and file around the globe.
Help is at hand with this The Business Bullshit Book, aptly described as “the world’s most comprehensive collection” of the top 2,000 business terms and jargon that have infected us all. Stay sane (and keep your colleagues and customers from suffocating you) from the business bullshit madness by having this dictionary by your side. Based on his wide and extensive experience with business bullshit, Kevin Duncan deciphers the terms and language of modern-day business speak.
