Best Practices are Stupid. 40 ways to out-innovate the competition. Stephen M. Shapiro.
Best Practices are Stupid. 40 ways to out-innovate the competition. Stephen M. Shapiro. 2011. ISBN 9781591843856. A small but powerful book that leaders will need to have on their bookshelf. The author knows this topic ans is able to deliver the 40 tips concisely with impact. I have used a few of the ideas already and they really did “cut through” the fog. Lots of resources on his website http://www.steveshapiro.com/best-practices-are-stupid/innovationtools/ as well as a blog on the topic. You can also get the first five chapters as a sample. Buying the book is a bit of a challenge but it is worth the search. Good stuff for a three hour flight. I loved it that using best practices is the cost of playing the game- not what you need to win. His sections on game play are worth the price of the book
