Just Go, Go, Go! is the antidote to all those pretentious business books.

Covering topics such as teamwork, motivation, communication, sales, process improvement, quality, corporate power and the environment, Alec Wonder blows apart the theories, and gets to the core weaknesses of popular management techniques. His own bizarre theories such as Teamliness, Motorvation, and Estimaflation are hilarious - and yet brutally true. Just Go, Go, Go! also contains over 100 gems of business wisdom to enlighten your day, such as "The sh*t will always hit the fan, stay away from the fan." Case studies in the book demonstrate how Alec Wonder has turned his bizarre theories into success (for Alec, not his clients).
