Meet New York Times bestselling author Martin Lindstrom (one of TIME magazine’s 100 Most Influential People).

We interviewed Martin about his new book THE MINISTRY OF COMMON SENSE: How to Eliminate Bureaucratic Red Tape, Bad Excuses, and Corporate BS.

Doesn’t your workplace drive you crazy when you get cc’ed on irrelevant email chains, invited to unnecessary meetings, or forbidden by company policy to do the exact thing your boss commands you to do? These and many other frustrations stem from the same underlying cause: a lack of common sense! In an interview Martin discusses the most typical roadblocks to common sense:

(Bad) customer experience
Politics
Technology
Meetings and Power Points
Rules, Regulations, and Policies
Compliance and Legal

And has remedies for all.
