I hadn’t heard of James Adonis until I picked up his book, “Corporate Punishment: Smashing the Management Clichés for Leaders in a New World.” From the start, that concept had me on the hook. I guess I’ve heard about “low hanging fruit” one too many times. The book is made up of small chapters several pages […]
