I am so happy that I was among the first ones to have the chance to read this book.
Since I am working in a big organisation, as an administrator, I find myself into various situations constantly. Me and my team often find mistakes that are in the system, which makes it not work - or BONKERS :D
This book helped me understand how things (don't) work in an organisation, and how to realise that, get over it, understand it, and start using it in your advantage.
It's a wonderful book full of examples that I could relate to, making you realise that all big organisations work in a different - but also same way, and they all have their gaps full of bonkers.
I would definitely recommend it to every person working in a big organisation, to every person curious about big organisations, to every person that wants to become a leader and learn a few tips and tricks, to every person that loves learning.
