Overview

A timely guide for surviving and keeping one's sanity in the dysfunctional work environments which have become all too common in the 21st century. - Lawrence Mantrone, Founder & Managing Director of Adaptyze LLC, and Adjunct Professor, NYU School of Professional Studies STOP MANAGING START THINKING delivers a vault's worth of disruption in a mere 158 pages. It skewers the friendly fascism of corporate culture. It confronts the dis-economies of scale directly; and it challenges fallacies of all kinds, from deadlines to multi-tasking. With clarity and pragmatism, this anonymous author dares you to abandon the fog of orthodoxy and dares you to drag yourself out of the vortex of inefficiency. Plenty of blame is placed on all the forces against thinking which have too long corrupted human productivity, but no industry is spared in this merciless dissection of modern management.

Author Information

The author has worked for the past ten years managing a wide range of website, software, and advertising projects. She ended up in the IT Industry by accident after relocating to a new and outrageously great city, and she has worked with more than fifty clients ranging from ubiquitous brands to brands so obscure even Google Search doesn't know about them. She has managed projects across a multitude of platforms and technologies, and during that time has experienced e-commerce going mobile, Web 2.0, the social media revolution, the burgeoning of responsive design, and a number of other cool things that go bump in the night. Before the call from the temp agency which got her into IT, she worked (not all that zealously) in several other industries and (frankly) preferred writing sublimely perfect fiction. She graduated summa cum laude from a private university so elite few people have ever even heard of it, where she majored in English and Political Science. She does not have a degree in computer science and, thankfully, she is not certified in any particular pre-ordained style of project management. She currently lives outside the box.
