Maxim(um) Management: Decoding Management Maxims From Jargon to Judgment
byHitesh Ahuja
About the Book
VMaxims, more commonly known as sayings, are short expressions of wisdom or advice.We live by maxims.
Move fast. Break things.
There is no ‘I’ in team.
Fake it till you make it.
Curiosity killed the cat.
Some guide.
Some mislead.
Most depend on context.
Through stories and practical frameworks, Maxim(um) Management explores the sayings that shape managerial thinking: when they work, when theyfail, and when they are weaponized. It shows how easily wisdom becomes dogma when stripped of context.
This is not a book of management rules.
It is a book about judgment.
