Our lives are imbued with rules and regulations, some of which are vital and sensible, but others are simply stupid. Natasha Hamilton-Hart navigates the rules maze and challenges us to consider how effective some rules are, and whether we would be better off resorting to the exercise of authority.
Our lives are imbued with rules and regulations, some of which are vital and sensible, but others are simply stupid. Natasha Hamilton-Hart maintains that time-wasting processes of compliance don’t improve anyone’s lives or wellbeing and burden companies and organizations with productivity-sapping paperwork. In these instances, she argues, we would be better off resorting to the exercise of authority, a concept we have become afraid of, but one that is a more efficient and transparent option for getting things done.
Navigating the rules maze and compliance culture that has proliferated over recent years, this book challenges us to consider just how ineffective stupid rules are in holding power to account, to improving service delivery, and even in managing the office dress code. The book is a must-read for anyone frustrated by the bureaucratic overload regulations create and for those needing to rethink their approach to management.
