What the world doesn't know is that Bruce Bottomline, the COO, is on the brink of quitting because he knows in his heart that the company's culture is driving it headlong toward its own demise. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBruce is a cofounder of this company with long-time friend and CEO Helen Hardcharger, so he doesn't want to abandon their dream. But he can't see any way to fix the problem.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFortunately for Bruce and all of his partners and employees, fate has planned a chance meeting on an airplane between him and Sam Sherlock. Sam introduces Bruce to the concept of UGRs, or unwritten ground rules. It turns out that at the Very Important Corporation, complaining in meetings is pointless because no one tackles the issues. And employees only get visits from their boss if something is wrong. Unwritten ground rules like these need a serious overhaul. This is the vehicle for change, and Bruce comes away recharged and prepared to put the company's corporate culture back on a track.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLearn from Bruce's mistakes and triumphs how you, too, can address your company's UGRs and revitalize its culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stef Du Plessis, Steve Simpson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1481017659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481017657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001","brand":"Stef Du Plessis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065958002943,"sku":"9781481017657","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_097cde00-03c6-484e-b37b-2369e81dfefa.jpg?v=1685404510","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-culture-turned-stef-du-plessis-9781481017657","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
