Powerful and thought-provoking from start to finish.» – Jeremy Vine, BBC Presenter and Author “Never Mind the Bosses is a refreshing type of management book, it advocates that deference to authority figures needs to go if we are to have engaged workforces.” – Cary L. «If deference is dead, this book is about the resurrection of the effective manager in a world where nothing is quite the way it used to be. This book offers a solution to a problem that belongs in the last century, and a game plan for nothing short of a workplace revolution. Deference is the enemy of organisational success and it needs to be dismantled so that in its place we can build modern organisations with a new breed of managers and leaders. It stops them from being agile, innovative and ethical. Deference prevents organisations from learning. Systems of deference slow down organisational performance. The proposition offered here is that our organisations need to catch up, and that the “death of deference” that we are seeing elsewhere in society needs to be accelerated in the workplace.
This book is about what this means for the workplace and for management.
All are examples of deep change occurring. We need look no further than events on the world stage to see the heat signature of this – from the arrival of Wikileaks, the Arab Spring of 2011 and the Occupy movements, to the social media revolution and flashpoints such as the British Members of Parliament expenses scandal. “(Elden) has re-enacted the photograph in exchange for a fee, many times he has had the album title Nevermind tattooed across his chest he has appeared on a talk show wearing a self-parodying, nude-colored onesie he has autographed copies of the album cover for sale on eBay and he has used the connection to try to pick up women.Over the last few decades, power, information and resources have moved from being concentrated in the hands of a few, to being disbursed across many. Nirvana’s lawyer was quick to denounce the accusations, noting that Elden had used his placement on the album as both financial and personal leverage. The original lawsuit filed in August 2021 also claimed that Elden endured “lifelong damages” from the artwork and that his legal guardians never signed a release “authorizing the use of any images of Spencer or of his likeness, and certainly not of commercial child pornography depicting him.” Originally the suit included claims that the defendants did “knowingly benefit from participation in what they know or should know is a sex trafficking venture.” However, this has since been removed. In the refiled complaint Elden claims that Nirvana, Kurt Cobain’s estate, record labels and photographer Jurt Weddle “intentionally commercially marketed the child pornography depicting Spencer and leveraged the lascivious nature of his image to promote the Nevermind album, the band, and Nirvana’s music, while earning, at a minimum, tens of millions of dollars in the aggregate.”
