7 Habits of Highly Dysfunctional Companies: Joel Dubin

Surviving Corporate Dysfunction

 

Joel Dubin is a retired cybersecurity consultant who has spent decades navigating the corporate world. Joel’s experiences have culminated in his hilariously insightful book, “The Seven Habits of Highly Dysfunctional Companies”.

The book is a satirical guide on what not to do in business. Joel’s first chapter, aptly titled “If it makes sense, don’t do it”, sets the tone for the rest of the book. He shares anecdotes that highlight the absurdity of over-complicating simple tasks, such as needing multiple meetings to approve adding a column to a spreadsheet.

Joel’s stories are both relatable and eye-opening. His insights extend beyond humor, offering valuable lessons on what to look for in a company and when it’s time to move on.

Joel’s book is available on Amazon, and you can also find more about his work on his website, dysfunctionalcompany.com. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting your career, “The Seven Habits of Highly Dysfunctional Companies” is a must-read for anyone looking to navigate the often chaotic world of corporate life with a smile.
