The Next Guys: A Practitioner Archive [Unabridged Audiobook]

Business


The Brief: A retiring, "fat and sassy" Army Chief Warrant Officer leaves his replacement with six years of unwritten knowledge and exactly three days to learn it. This chapter explores what happens when organizations rely on untouchable experts instead of documented systems. Plus, a crucial lesson on navigating unwritten rules, why a retired Command Sergeant Major cannot derive actual authority from a reserved parking spot, and why asking "You like beef, brah?" at a Hawaiian plate lunch truck is a terrible idea.
