📘 Orbiting the giant hairball by Gordon MacKenzie

Gordon MacKenzie worked at Hallmark Cards for thirty years, where he inspired his colleagues to slip the bonds of Corporate Normalcy and rise to orbit - to a mode of dreaming, daring, and doing above and beyond the rubber-stamp confines of the administrative mind-set. In his deeply funny book, exuberantly illustrated in full color, he shares lessons on awakening and fostering creative genius. He teaches how to emerge from the "giant hairball" -- that tangled, impenetrable mass of rules, and systems, based on what worked in the past and which can lead to mediocrity in the present. - Jacket.
