"No Silver Bullet" debunks the myth of quick fixes, revealing how unconscious patterns of shame and anxiety drive the market for them. This book delves into the reasons behind the appeal of quick fixes, including out of date ideas about leadership and business education, the glorification of theory and the alure of thought leaders, amongst other things."No Silver Bullet" doesn't offer quick fixes but provides insights into the ineffective cycle of buying and selling them. A call to action for a more considered and holistic approach over simplistic either/or thinking.
