When Managers Rebel

Employee and manager rebellions occur more often than you might think. This book argues how important it is to take these protests seriously. The authors demonstrate that when middle managers rebel, they aren’t just letting off steam, and that their acts of creative protest can even produce benefits for their companies. Rebellion can pay off!
