The story behind the book

Any opportunity to talk about Junk Values is Clegg catnip. A snippet from 'The story behind the book'.

Thanks to TransformReads for inviting me to share 'The story behind the book'. I enjoyed writing this brief article. Any opportunity to talk about Junk Values is Clegg catnip.

Here's a snippet: "...when you talk about 'values' you encounter a wall. No, we've done that. It's bullsh*t. Management cr*p. Values don't influence culture, people do. If you have to tell them you've hired wrong. People only care about price. And on it goes. The thing with me is I don't go into battle unless it's really important. This is."
