The making of this nonsense

Nonsense-at-work  

Nonsense at work

No-nonsense way to listen to this CD

Making shift happen left-right left-right

Part 1: The Nonsense of Perceptions

Pay attention to the expected  

Perception is reality

Perceptual errors at work

Seeing differently creates insight

Making sense... and nonsense

Part 2: The Nonsense of Goals

Perceptual error handicaps your success

Your goal when setting goals

The ‘invisible’ success factors

Make your resolutions stick

Don’t only build your strengths

Part 3: The Nonsense of Team Work

Perceptual error of balanced teams

Team work down the river

Do you really want team work?

Poor team work by design

From co-operation to sub-optimization

Part 4: The Nonsense of Organizations

Perceptual error attributes behavior

Organizations are strange concoctions

The Trojan horse in your organization

Business is simple

Why organizations (teams) struggle and fail

Part 5: The Nonsense of Leadership

Perceptual error creates false consensus

Don’t waste my time

Leaders choose words carefully

‘I don’t know’

Abuse of power leads to group-think

Part 6: The Nonsense of Culture

Perceptual error shares your feelings

The way we do things here

Good culture gone bad

When culture becomes dangerous

We, the enemy within

Part 7: The Nonsense of Being a Worker

Perceptual error keeps you mum

Workers save the organization

Pay-for-output, reward-for-input

Cherish your unreasonable people

When capable employees leave

Ending: Standing at the nonsense divide

"Have you ever been stunned into thinking? That's what this CD does, every 60 seconds."

Julie Joyce - Founder, Human Resources Partner

 

 

"Don't worry about digesting all 48 tracks. Before you finish 2 or 3, you'll be pulling out a pad and making notes on your new approach....  It took me about 30 seconds to hear something I thought I should spend more time exploring, considering, rethinking." Dan Bryant - VP at On Hold Marketing

 

 

"When I heard a segment the first time, I thought -- great, straightforward insight.  When I heard another, I had to write down the website and check it out."

Matthew J. Bottone
