I can really see this happening – both the enthusiasm and the failure for that to translate into actual change. It’s so hard! I think the story told in the book is encouraging though – the culture is created by a series of changes…it’s evolutionary, not revolutionary. Gives one hope.

This book took my workplace by storm when it was published in the early 1990s.But nothing happened. I did re-read it when studying a management subject and still loved it and wanted to apply the culture, strategy and structure to a company I was setting up. Yep want to see it happen.

Comment on Anna Rose Above It by “Language Intelligence”, Joe Romm: Rhetoric | Scit Necessitas

“Language Intelligence”, Joe Romm: Rhetoric | Scit Necessitas — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 07:52:05 +0000

[...] Writing previously, I’ve pointed out that “metaphor enables you to explain something unfamiliar by comparison to the familiar.” Romm is more precise: “a good metaphor implies intuitive perception of the similarity in dissimilars.” Words are not containers, yet we can put things in them.
