David Burkus visited Google's office in Cambridge, MA to discuss his book, "Under New Management: How Leading Organizations Are Upending Business as Usual".
This book challenges some of the most widely accepted principles of business management: open floor plans, annual performance reviews, the belief that the customer is always right, the useful of email as a tool for communication, and many others. After decades of research, Burkus has found that not only are many of these fundamental management practices misguided, they can be counterproductive.
