I recently finished "Sacred Cows Make the Best Burgers: Developing Change-Driving People and Organizations", recommended by Bob Gee for my #2014ReadingChallenge. While this was published in the 90s, the main premise is still very relevant. We all have holy habits that we accept as unchangeable and we don't regularly re-evaluate their usefulness and efficiency, both as individuals and as organizations. Like most business books, the case studies are outdated and I know that some of these businesses have since closed. It would be interesting to see an update from the authors that analyzes what caused those businesses to fail and if those causes were related to this book's principles.
