Adding to the irony:
She is the best-selling author, most recently, of “Rebel Talent: Why it Pays to Break the Rules in Work and Life.”
- edgyquant 3y agoAs the adage goes, “if you talk about it, be about it.”
- cebsoto 3y agoThe book comes across as being very anecdotal....it is easy to mold anecdotes to whatever point of view you are trying to get across. In their zeal to find hard facts to back up their theories, did they play hard and fast with the rules?
- TylerE 3y agoYet another example for assumption that all book titles with that sort of semi-colon + second sentence title are universally lowest common denominator crap, at best.
- pxeger1 3y agoNot that it matters, but that's a colon, not a semicolon
- Kamq 3y agoThat doesn't seem ironic. Someone writing a book arguing for breaking the rules is exactly who I would expect to break the rules. Or is the irony here that someone actually took an idea seriously and followed through on it?
- Barrin92 3y agoI suppose the irony is in the fact that it evidently didn't pay off because I can't imagine that one book was worth ruining her career. I think the general thesis is questionable, for work especially, because in business contrary to the stereotype being honest and following the rules does pay off in the long run.
