Product Description
Product Description
New Rules for the New World is about what goes wrong and why, about the path from good (and often correct) intention to disaster. It is about the bumpy road from a great idea to complete industry failure. And its about how to avoid that road.
This is a book of stories. Each tale paints a picture of good intentions gone wrong. Through the stories you will meet a cast of characters familiar to anyone in business – the Empowering Manager, the Uncertain Strategist, the Global Communicator and the Merged Chief Executive. Each story has a moral, a New Rule for the New World, a practical rule that would have prevented failure.

Want to challenge your old-world MBA mind? Go for New World!,
By A Customer
This review is from: New Rules for the New World: Cautionary Tales for the New World Manager (Hardcover)
Eddie is a crazy genious, that writes with the authority of a successful management consultant and university professor that eats its own dogdood before publishing it! It will blow your old-world MBA-like models, challenging the premises of those models in a very simple but effective way: You can't learn faster than the world changes, thus you have to change your learning and management strategy! And that's just the beginning... recomended for Lateral Thinkers and other non-closed-mind people!

Not just another book on change management,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New Rules for the New World: Cautionary Tales for the New World Manager (Hardcover)
I had the pleasure of not only reading this book but also meeting the author. He spoke at a recent conference and was very entertaining. The book is divided into 2 sections. One section focuses on change management principles. The principles are practical and can be applied in almost any business/personal situation. The other section of the book has "tales" about change. The Tales were more interesting reading and it was easy to see the application of the principles through the analogies used in the Tales. The writing style is very relaxed. He often takes side trips or even commentates on his own writing.
