Uncommon Sense, Common Nonsense: Why Some Organisations Consistently Outperform Others - Paperback

by Jules Goddard (Author), Tony Eccles (Author)

This is for managers who know that their organizations are stuck in a mindset that thrives on fashionable business theories that are no more than folk wisdom, and whose so-called strategies are little more than banal wish lists.

It puts forward the notion that the application of uncommon sense--thinking or acting differently from other organizations in a way that makes unusual sense--is the secret to competitive success.
