We live in a society where all things smart and intelligent are good, and anything that is dumb or stupid is bad. But wait a minute. You probably know at least one brilliant person who is a miserable failure. Worse, you probably know at least one blithering idiot who has risen quickly and easily to the heights of wealth and power, and all too often, they are your boss or your biggest client. What is wrong with this picture? Strange though it may seem, intelligence is not all that it is cracked up to be. And stupidity, while much maligned, is often a highly effective method of achieving success. If you constantly find yourself in situations where you are smarter than everyone else, and yet you are doing all the work while the C students are sitting around making all the money and having all the fun, this book is for you. In this groundbreaking new book, Justin Locke (author of "Real Men Don't Rehearse" and the #1 expert in the world on stupidity) shows you how to get in touch with your inner idiot and access the infinite power of ignorance and non-thought to address a wide range of problems and challenges, including management, leadership, communications, relationships, creativity, and more!

What if almost everything you know about creating a culture of innovation is wrong? What if the way you are measuring innovation is choking it? What if your market research is asking all of the wrong questions? It's time to innovate the way you innovate. Stephen Shapiro is one of America's foremost innovation advisrrs, whose methods have helped organizations like Staples, GE, Telefónica, NASA, the U.S. Air Force, and USAA. He teaches his clients that innovation isn't just about generating occasional new ideas; it's about staying consistently one step ahead of the competition. Hire people you don't like. Bring in the right mix of people to unleash your team's full potential. Asking for ideas is a bad idea. Define challenges more clearly. If you ask better questions, you will get better answers. Don't think outside the box; find a better box. Instead of giving your employees a blank slate, provide them with well-defined parameters that will increase their creative output. Failure is always an option. Looking at innovation as a series of experiments allows you to redefine failure and learn from your results. Shapiro shows that nonstop innovation is attainable and vital to building a high-performing team, improving the bottom line, and staying ahead of the pack.

Functional stupidity can be catastrophic. It can cause organisational collapse, financial meltdown and technical disaster. And there are countless, more everyday examples of organisations accepting the dubious, the absurd and the downright idiotic, from unsustainable management fads to the cult of leadership or an over-reliance on brand and image. And yet a dose of stupidity can be useful and produce good, short-term results: it can nurture harmony, encourage people to get on with the job and drive success. This is the stupidity paradox. The Stupidity Paradox tackles head-on the pros and cons of functional stupidity. You'll discover what makes a workplace mindless, why being stupid might be a good thing in the short term but a disaster in the longer term, and how to make your workplace a little less stupid by challenging thoughtless conformity. It shows how harmony and action in the workplace can be balanced with a culture of questioning and challenge. The book is a wake-up call for smart organisations and smarter people. It encourages us to use our intelligence fully for the sake of personal satisfaction, organisational success and the flourishing of society as a whole.

Choices matter. The choices women make during the critical years of adolescence and early adulthood often have life-long consequences. Image, immorality, and recklessness reign in Western culture, and scarcely can a woman escape the drift of stupidity unless she is prepared to fight. Her weapon? Wisdom. Not a list of do's and don'ts... but clear, guiding principles from God's Word that can be applied in the most desperate situations to preserve a young woman's destiny. Through tragic and inspiring real-life stories, Sarah Siegand paints a vivid picture of the consequences choices bring, while boldly offering truth and perspective to bring readers to a place of decision. With vulnerability and humor, Siegand beckons young women, and those who lead them, to discover purpose and redemption through Christ. Written in a format perfect for small groups and mentoring relationships, Smart Girl, Stupid World is a daring call to wisdom for an emerging generation. A Book Trailer Video is available on the Smart Girl Stupid World website & Youtube.
