So this is a book for dreamers and doers. It’s for everyone who feels hogtied by
bureaucracy, who worries that the “system” is stifling innovation, who secretly believes
that the bottleneck is at the top of the bottle, who wonders why corporate life has to be
so dispiriting, who feels that individual competence and positional power should be
more tightly correlated, who thinks that employees really are smart enough to manage
themselves, who knows that “management,” as currently practiced, is a drag on
success—and wants to do something about it. If that’s you, then welcome.
