The knowledge myth -- Not so smart -- Functional stupidity -- Leadership-induced stupidity -- Structure-induced stupidity -- Imitation-induced stupidity -- Branding-induced stupidity -- Culture-induced stupidity -- Stupidity management and how to counter it.
Sammanfattning: 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 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.
