This book presents a new model for education that makes more effective use of technology. The book first looks at the evolution of the U.S. public education system. It introduces the dilemma of whether emphasis should be on ensuring that all students reach a defined level of expertise or on encouraging individual students to develop their full potential. The authors present a new paradigm of teaching which allows students to use computer programs to progress at their own rate in subjects they enjoy and excel at while ensuring they still get the basics.

Through decades of teaching management theory, the author has frequently questioned many modern-day management practices. This book explains, in a user-friendly and humorous manner, why these practices are based on worn out logic that needs to be rethought. The book reviews a range of management theories, including Six Sigma, downsizing, and management by objective. After showing where the holes lie, it offers alternative approaches that have proven effective in a growing number of private and public sector organizations, including some that enable a more positive workplace culture.
