Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disruption? New Work? Agility? Executives are supposed to be charismatic and visionary while staff are expected to be motivated and enthusiastic. Such talk comes easily – and indeed incessantly – to managers. But how much to these all-too-familiar clichés really have to tell us? Fredmund Malik reveals the muddled thinking underlying large parts of the vocabulary of management. His new book cuts through the babble and makes a stand for clear thinking and straight talking. “Not only skeptics will find Malik a pleasure to read. He is skilled at picking apart the fashionable verbiage of management with often sarcastic glee.” Süddeutsche Zeitung (Munich)
