Summary

Think there's no ls"I' in ls"team'? There is. Believe that together everyone achieves more? They don't. Asked to give it 110 per cent? You can't. Think employees are your greatest asset? They ain't. Got an open-door policy? For goodness sake -- shut it!Whether you're a perpetrator or a casualty of cringe-worthy corporate clicheacute;s (or both), Corporate Punishment will challenge the way you think about the world of business and the mind-numbing management mottos that have underpinned it for decades. From teams and leadership to workplace culture and customer service, James Adonis smashes to pieces some of the most deeply entrenched business philosophies, offering in their place a progressive new thought process that's light on rhetoric and boring theory, but heavy on practicality and imagination.This book is a protest, a movement, a changing of the management guard -- it is the breath of fresh air every modern business needs and a long overdue break from the hot air that most are forced to endure.

About the author
Acknowledgements
Introduction: starting from scratch
full team ahead
There's no ‘I' in ‘team'
Together everyone achieves more
Singing from the same song/hymn sheet
strut your staff
Employees are our greatest asset
Management is not a popularity contest
Employees resist change
People don't leave jobs, they leave managers
My way or the highway
business as unusual
Work on the business, not in the business
It's nothing personal, just business
Success is a journey, not a destination
The glass ceiling
If you build it, they will come
Pick the low-hanging fruit
Hire slow, fi re fast
What gets measured gets done
all work and no say
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
Work smarter, not harder
Let's give it 110 per cent
Work/life balance
Failure is not an option
paying flip service
The customer is always right
Under-promise and over-deliver
teach for the stars
Knowledge is power
Every mistake is a learning experience
There's no such thing as a stupid question
hook, line and thinker
Think outside the box
Perception is reality
To assume makes an ass out of U and me
tickle the money bone
Time is money, money is time
Focus on the bottom line
There's no money in the budget
Do what you love and the money will follow
all's fair in love and work
It's not what you know, it's who you know
Treat people how you'd like to be treated
Coming up with a win-win solution
Having an open-door policy
end a helping hand
The hit list
