Cubicle Commando


Cubicle Commando

You don't have to leave your job to express your true creative self. You can do it right there inside the ten! Cubicle Commando arms intrapreneurs (internal entrepreneurs) like you with remarkable thinking, tips and techniques to help you live and breathe innovation within the confines of your organisation.

Move over carbon-copy mediocrity and let the innovation revolution begin! Thats the catchcry for this edgy new business book which abruptly tackles dull corporation life and the need for intrapreneurs - internal entrepreneurs - to rise within their confines, recapture their values and play a part in changing the business world.

You wont fall asleep flicking through these pages. Written by Bondi entrepreneur extraordinaire Lisa Messenger and creative strategist Zern Liew, its a whirlwind ride of convention breaking, remarkable thinking and practical help that will breathe life and innovation into even the most depleted intrapreneur. Written with such flare, humour and a little irreverence, this book is for those after more than a desk, a job description and a regular pay slip. Its for those who want to shake things up a bit, who might be a small cog but want to have a big impact.

Cubicle Commando includes a stack of case studies from leading business like Love Communications, IBM Australia, Mercedes-Benz Airport Express, 3 Minute Angels and Joie de Vivre Hospitality.

Topics covered:

  • leverage corporate power for good and create an anti-process process
  • embrace subversion, escape the mediocrity and be part of the revolution
  • derive intrinsic meaning from your work
  • be a mover and shaker with a kick arse attitude
  • know what fear smells like, take a deep breath and do it anyway
  • assemble your dream team - innovators, leaders, doers, evangelists, financiers, outsiders and muse
  • sleep with the enemy then convert them to an ally
  • check your psychopath at the door
  • be a small cog with big impact
