Our organizations are flooded with empty talk. We are constantly going forward to lands of deliverables stopping off on the journey to drill down into best practice. Being an expert at using management speak has become more important in corporate life than delivering long lasting results. The upshot is that meaningless corporate jargon is killing our organizations. In this book management scholar the author argues we need to call this empty talk what it is: bullshit. The book looks at how organizations have become vast machines for manufacturing distributing and consuming bullshit. It follows how the meaningless language of management has spread through schools NGOs politics and the media. Business Bullshit shows you how to spot business bullshit considers why it is so popular and outlines the impact it has on organizations and the people who work there. It also outlines what we can do to minimise bullshit at work. The author makes a case for why organizations need to avoid empty talk and reconnect with core activities.

No Bullshit Therapy How to engage people who don’t want to work with you

No Bullshit Therapy How to engage people who don’t want to work with you

Do you have clients who do not want to be helped? Clients who don’t trust you your profession or your service? Clients who don’t want to change despite your best efforts? Then No Bullshit Therapy (NBT) is for you! Most simply NBT is about being authentic. Many people are cajoled pressured or mandated to see therapists counsellors and other helpers. Hence they are reluctant suspicious and resistant to being helped. This puts professionals in the difficult position of trying to help someone who does not want to be helped. To make things worse there are few practice models designed to engage people who don’t want to be engaged. NBT creates a context for mutual honesty and directness in working relationships. Creating a context for mutual honesty and directness can be refreshingly effective especially with people who are suspicious of counselling or distrustful of the counsellor. When combined with warmth and care honesty and directness can enhance co-operation connection and trust especially if the practitioner avoids jargon and acknowledges constraints to the work. NBT is ideal for working with people who: Don’t like therapy or the idea of therapy (even if they’ve never had it) Don’t trust warm fuzzy “do-gooders” or “psychologisers” Are suspicious of services because they have experienced trauma and have had abusive institutional experiences or unsatisfactory treatment in the past Don’t see themselves as a client don’t agree with the referrer’s description of them or their problems and appear to not want to change Practical and engaging this book is an essential guide for therapists counsellors and other allied-health professionals who are looking for a more effective way to connect with reluctant clients and ensure they get the support they need. It may also help you create more robust relationships at work and at home. | No Bullshit Therapy How to engage people who don’t want to work with you

Striking Images Iconoclasms Past and Present

Striking Images Iconoclasms Past and Present

All cultures make and break images. Striking Images Iconoclasms Past and Present explores how and why people have made and modified images and other cultural material from pre-history into the 21st century. With its impressive chronological sweep and disciplinary breadth this is the first book about iconoclasm (the breaking of images) and the transformation of broader sets of signs that includes contributions from archaeologists curators and museum conservators as well as historians of art literature and religious studies. The chapters examine themes critical to the study of iconoclasm: violence punishment memory intentionality ruins and relics and their survival. The conclusion shows how cross-disciplinary debate amongst the contributors informed Tate Britain’s 'Art under Attack' exhibition (2013) and addresses the challenges iconoclasm presents to the modern museum. By juxtaposing objects and places usually considered in isolation Striking Images raises provocative questions about our understandings of cross-cultural differences and the value of representational objects from the broken swords of pre-historical bog graves to the Bamiyan Buddhas and contemporary art. Are any such objects ever ’finished’ or are they simply subject to constant transformation? In dialogue with each other the essays consider this question and expand the field of iconoclasm - and cultural - studies.
