BOOK REVIEW

RIP OFF YOUR NECKTIE AND DANCE- By Leen Zevenbergen  

    

Rip Off Your Necktie And Dance
Click for review

Hop on now. Discover the Chaordic Alternative. Next stop Culture Change Central!

"Revitalise your business with innovation and entrepreneurship", sets the scene so you know what to expect, only you don't because you're in for surprises. Leen begins with a "passionate plea for authenticity in entrepreneurship" and goes on to decry 'loincloth' projects-somewhat worse than sticking plaster. I give this book 5 ***** and say buy it now!

  Thought leader Leen Zevenbergen aims to get everyone out of their straight jackets, to think out of the box, and a high five from me for referring to 'vision' in his first sentence, since this is the birth of business transformation. (As a Vision Facilitator am I biased? Of course yes! Vision changes everything!) And it all begins with Leadership. How can a leader inspire others if they are totally uninspiring, this is part of the problem for which Leen offers solutions.               back to top
