Todd Buchholz has a new book - "RUSH: Why You Need and Love the Rat Race" coming out in May.
Todd is the author of the classic "New Ideas from Dead Economists" and "New Ideas from Dead CEOs". He reveals why we need competition to keep us going and going strong. Weaving in everything from neuroeconomics to evolutionary biology to renaissance art to General Motors; Buchholz will convince you that the race to compete has not only made us taller and smarter, it’s what we love and need. In his provocative presentation, Todd Buchholz explains why laid-back firms get entangled in their own red-tape and why contented CEOs end up driving their employees to bankruptcy court. While Todd argues that businesses need internal competition, he shows how to inspire creative competition, rather than a shark-infested culture. This is a cutting edge presentation that defies and shreds conventional wisdom.
