Every journey starts with a single-step realization that we don’t have to take any more of this crap. The world of work – and all that’s wrong with it – is dominated by 12 statements. We hear them every day. We utter them at will. But they’re all garbage. What if we said – no more? This is the business book for everyone who can’t bear to read business books. Which is most of us. It considers that in being part of the problem – an uncomfortable admission – we may also be the creators of the solution. In uncompromising, engaging and humorous fashion, it dismantles each statement and sets us on the path to a better world of work. You can read each essay between meetings you’d rather not be at, after which, your working life will never be the same again. Neil Usher is a practitioner, writer and thinker about work and the workplace. His collaborators on this book, Kirsten Buck and Perry Timms are, too. We’ve skipped the usual sensational endorsements because most of the time they’re a fiction. We’d rather you decided for yourself.

Our intensely interconnected world never stops evolving. Amid the chaos of intended and unintended consequences we’re expected to lead a change initiative. We have to learn fast, as it’s already started. In Elemental Change, a highly practical, human and entertaining book, we’re guided in how we might make complex change attainable – organizational, professional or personal – whether we have years of experience or are facing our first major challenge. It helps us think about what change is and means, how we prepare for it and what we do to make it successful. The elemental framework is highly portable, making it relevant to any location, sector, culture or discipline.
