Charles Towers-Clark, CEO of Pod Group, took a profitable, fast growing, hierarchical company... and tore it apart. His aim? To re-build it as a company positioned to face the challenges of the next industrial revolution. What is WEIRD? WEIRD is a mindset, not a step-by-step instruction manual for companies to use out of the box. Each company has a different combination of people that make it work, so each company needs a methodology that fits their culture and ethos. Implementing WEIRD is not about telling people how to work, but about giving employees the freedom to decide what is best for them, and by extension the company. How you use WEIRD is entirely up to you – that’s the only way it will work. Discussion of an alternative way to lead where employees are given initiative and responsibility. Exploring how can collectively change the way we live and work. We strongly suggest you purchase the book beforehand. This will give you a base understanding on WEIRD and a change to get the book signed by the author himself. This book gives a fascinating and sometimes brutally honest record of the change process encountered by his own company, and highlights the major transformations that will be necessary in a working world increasingly dominated by Artificial Intelligence. "The WEIRD CEO is a useful reminder of the questions that every business leader needs to be asking." - ZDNet
