Download Breaking Bad Habits: Defy Industry Norms and Reinvigorate Your Business AudioBook Free
It's very likely that best practices - ideas, techniques, and strategies that are commonplace in your industry - are in fact harming your business. Although best practices can help businesses operate more competitively and successfully, they are generally outdated, harmful, and a hindrance to innovation. The problem is, managers and professionals are usually blind to the negative effects of best practices, so they don't question their purpose or measure their effectiveness. As a result, outdated or harmful practices disperse and persist without their knowledge. In Breaking Bad Practices, Freek Vermeulen, a technique professor at London Business Institution, supplies the tools to recognize bad practices, eliminate them from your company, and then move on to create new sources of innovation and development by outthinking your competition. Brimming with examples of norm-defying organizations in an eclectic range of market sectors, Breaking Bad Practices can make you rethink your long-held values about industry norms while encouraging someone to reinvigorate your business by breaking out of the status quo.
