Publisher's summary

Every get the feeling that your company culture is completely insane? That your organisation is inherently dysfunctional and seems to emphasize pointless drama over getting work done? The good news is that you’re right: Your company’s culture is screwed up. The bad news is that most everyone else’s company culture is throwing sparks too. Culture is the product of the people that you work with, and people are...really quite interesting, given all the ways that well-meaning people can screw things up.

Lost Allusions, is the fourth collection of annotated leadership columns from Keil Hubert, the American correspondent for London-based Business Technology magazine.

This audiobook includes 25 columns from Business Reporter online, each featuring extensive lessons-learned, insights, and advice.

In this audiobook, Keil deconstructs what workplace cultures are, how they affect workers, how they warp into destructive environments, and (most importantly) how you can influence your own office culture for the better. All of these columns are told and explained in terms of pop-culture touchstones - the "allusions" are to books and films that help to make sense of the ideas presented in this sociological exploration. In Lost Allusions, Keil Hubert delivers his longest and densest book to-date, written with his usual dry Texan sense of humour.
