“
The Ministry of Common Sense forces us all to take a hard look in the mirror if we want to take our businesses to the next level to win big—and do so by simply eliminating needless layers of corporate BRIGHT RED tape. Thanks for this book, Martin, because you have saved me from senseless meetings!”

—Chester Elton, best-selling coauthor ofThe Carrot Principle, All In, and Leading with Gratitude “Lindstrom proves that, more often than not, the bigger your policy manual the smaller you organization’s common sense. More importantly, he shows leaders at all levels how to reverse that alarming trend.”
—David Burkus, author of Leading from Anywhere “Essential reading for all of us who feel bogged down in workplace bureaucracy and wish to improve our quality of life at work.”

—Renée Mauborgne, professor at INSEAD and coauthor of Blue Ocean Strategy and Blue Ocean Shift “Martin Lindstrom’s delightful romp shows how too many organizations seemed designed to drive their customers and employees crazy.
