Functional stupidity can be catastrophic. It can cause
organisational collapse, financial meltdown and technical disaster.
And there are countless, more everyday examples of organisations
accepting the dubious, the absurd and the downright idiotic, from
unsustainable management fads to the cult of leadership or an
over-reliance on brand and image. And yet a dose of stupidity can
be useful and produce good, short-term results: it can nurture
harmony, encourage people to get on with the job and drive success.
This is the stupidity paradox. The Stupidity Paradox tackles
head-on the pros and cons of functional stupidity. You'll discover
what makes a workplace mindless, why being stupid might be a good
thing in the short term but a disaster in the longer term, and how
to make your workplace a little less stupid by challenging
thoughtless conformity. It shows how harmony and action in the
workplace can be balanced with a culture of questioning and
challenge. The book is a wake-up call for smart organisations and
smarter people. It encourages us to use our intelligence fully for
the sake of personal satisfaction, organisational success and the
flourishing of society as a whole.
