Story
In a world of unrelenting change and unprecedented challenges, we need organizations that are resilient and daring. Unfortunately, most organizations, overburdened by bureaucracy, are sluggish and timid. In Humanocracy, Gary Hamel and Michele Zanini make a passionate, data-driven argument for excising bureaucracy and replacing it with something better. Drawing on more than a decade of research and packed with practical examples, Humanocracy lays out a detailed blueprint for creating organizations that are as inspired and ingenious as the human beings inside them.

Story
How can we think about the future? What do we need to do - and who do we need to be? We are addicted to prediction, desperate for certainty about the future. But the complexity of modern life won’t provide that; experts in forecasting are reluctant to look more than 400 days out. History doesn’t repeat itself and even genetics won’t tell you everything you want to know. Ineradicable uncertainty is now a fact of life.

Story
Years ago, after suffering a humiliatingly large dumb tax, it dawned on me that I have a seemingly unlimited ability to hit unforced errors and sabotage my business and financial success. I suspect you do, too. It turns out that the key to getting rich (and staying that way) is to avoid doing stupid things. I don't need to do more smart things. I just need to make fewer dumb mistakes. The vast majority of our dumb tax is a direct result of emotional, overly optimistic, and poorly thought out decisions.

Customers, followers, subscribers. It's easy to just look at the numbers. How many likes? How many purchases? How many email subscribers? But as entrepreneurs, we have to remember that there are people behind all that data. People who are looking to us to be a leader, to give advice, and to care. In this dog-eat-dog world, these are the people who are looking for someone who they can trust and who they know have their best interests in mind.

Story
We all have a tendency to work around problems. We are resourceful. We improvise. We’re so accustomed to managing emergencies as they strike that we often don’t stop to think about how we could prevent crises before they happen. Why 'solve' crimes when we could stop them being committed? Why treat chronic diseases when they could be prevented from developing? Why provide shelter for the homeless rather than working to keep people housed in the first place? Why do our efforts skew so heavily towards reaction rather than prevention?

We think we are rational creatures. Economics and business rely on the assumption that we make logical decisions based on evidence. But we aren’t, and we don’t. In many crucial areas of our lives, reason plays a vanishingly small part. Instead we are driven by unconscious desires, which is why placebos are so powerful. We are drawn to the beautiful, the extravagant and the absurd - from lavish wedding invitations to tiny bottles of the latest fragrance. So if you want to influence people’s choices you have to bypass reason.

Story
Most companies treat service as a low-priority business operation, keeping it out of the spotlight until a customer complains. Then service gets to make a brief appearance - for as long as it takes to calm the customer down and fix whatever foul-up jeopardized the relationship. In Uncommon Service, Frances Frei and Anne Morriss show how, in a volatile economy where the old rules of strategic advantage no longer hold true, service must become a competitive weapon, not a damage-control function. That means weaving service tightly into every core decision your company makes.

Publisher's Summary
A Wall Street Journal best seller
From the best-selling author of New Rules of Marketing & PR, a bold guide to converting customer passion into marketing power.
How do some brands attract word-of-mouth buzz and radical devotion around products as everyday as car insurance, b2b software, and underwear? They embody the most powerful marketing force in the world: die-hard fans.
In this essential audiobook, leading business growth strategist David Meerman Scott and fandom expert Reiko Scott explore the neuroscience of fandom and interview young entrepreneurs, veteran business owners, startup founders, nonprofits, and companies big and small to pinpoint which practices separate organizations that flourish from those stuck in stagnation. They lay out a road map for converting customers’ ardor into buying power, pulling one-of-a-kind examples from a wide range of organizations, including:
- MeUndies, the subscription company that’s revolutionizing underwear
- HeadCount, the nonprofit that registers voters at music concerts
- Grain Surfboards, the board-building studio that willingly reveals its trade secrets with customers
- Hagerty, the classic-car insurance provider with over 600,000 premier club members
- HubSpot, the software company that draws 25,000 attendees to its annual conference
For anyone who seeks to harness the force of fandom to revolutionize his or her business, Fanocracy shows the way.
Critic Reviews
"Reiko and David have captured the essence of how organizations, small and large, can organize and amplify the passions of their best customers. It's not difficult, but it's not common either: by building personal relationships and thus doing better work. A breakthrough in clarity and simplicity." (Seth Godin, author of Tribes and This Is Marketing)
"Our customers are no ordinary customers; they are die-hard fans who bleed for us. They love calling themselves Spartans - they bear Spartan tattoos and share their experiences with family and friends, bringing hundreds of thousands of new Spartans to the brand each year. Fanocracy will teach you how to do the same for your business." (Joe De Sena, founder & CEO of Spartan)
"The world is not changed by people who sort of care. Or companies who sort of care. The world is changed by those who passionately, relentlessly care because your customers will too, and your brand becomes impossible to resist. Fanocracy shows how to change customers into fans, so your brand can change the world.” (Sally Hogshead, New York Times best-selling author and CEO of Fascinate®)

Good Info...VERY hard to listen to
After seeing David Scott speak at a live event, I was very excited to hear more. Davids enthusiasm on stage was alive and infectious. After being mesmerized by Davids stage presence and story telling, I couldn’t wait to get his latest release. After listening to the book, the end couldn’t come quick enough. I don’t want to be rude with a bad review, but I must say that the reading “performance” was not good. The reading of the book was monotone, slow, and it really took away from the content. It felt like a line for line script read. Although the information was good, there was a serious misstep by not hiring a professional narrator. I really wish that I loved this Audible book. I really wanted to give a glowing review. David seems like a great guy, too!Maybe for the next book, really give some consideration to letting a pro read the audible version. You still rock, David!

I love all of David’s books. But this one in particular is amazing. I couldn’t stop listening to it and have already read the kindle and listened to the audible version. It’s well researched, incredibly written and narrated perfectly by both authors. Every page is filled with tons of actionable advice, showing you why and how to build a fan base amongst your clients.

Another Great Book from an Author I Respect.
I respect David's work because he does not suggest trendy things, just because they are trendy. Instead he offers real-life, time-tested, lessons. Things you can use now, and in the future. Most cost little or nothing except your time. Sometimes I learn new things, like here, other times, I am reminded of common sense things I forgot. He brings both experience and objective theory to the work that make sense to me. One in particular was proximity: personal space, public space and everything in-between. Already, this has caused me to re-think the way I do some of my social media work.. There are other lessons, I know I will go back to. I own other titles of David's. I have bought them all including multiple editions of "The New Rules..." I re-listen to it a few times a year and continue to pick up new ideas. My only criticism: I want more: More stories, and more examples. Whether you are a social media professional, small business owner, or work in a division of a large company, I think you will find some nuggets that will make your peers think, "Hey that was a good idea."
