Orbiting the Giant Hairball: A Corporate Fool’s Guide to Surviving
with Grace Approvals. Agendas. Written policies and procedures. Unwritten—but
well-understood—cultural expectations. These are the old standbys
of corporate life that Gordon MacKenzie challenges in his delightful tome,
Orbiting
the Giant Hairball: A Corporate Fool’s Guide to Surviving with Grace.
MacKenzie’s writing style and the supporting illustrations reflect
his offbeat approach to the beaten path. Using humorous, yet meaningful,
anecdotes from his three decades with Hallmark, he quickly illustrates
how corporations squelch the creative impulse. Even better, he provides
valuable tips for how to get back in touch with your own inner artist—and
use your talents for personal and professional growth.
Part business book, part self-help guide, Orbiting is a must-read for
individuals who have a nagging feeling that they’re ignoring—or
perhaps even unaware of—their true potential. Offering fresh perspectives
for folks up and down the corporate food chain, MacKenzie’s book
will resonate equally well with managers and "doers."
After reading Orbiting, you won’t necessarily trade in your
Brooks Brothers for tie-dye. But, you will no doubt be inspired to contemplate
yourself, your company, and your future in new ways.
