Orbiting the giant hairball

Book • 1996

Gordon MacKenzie

In 'Orbiting the Giant Hairball,' Gordon MacKenzie explores the challenges of preserving creativity in mature organizations.

The book introduces the concept of the 'hairball,' which represents the accumulation of established practices and conformity that can stifle innovation.

MacKenzie argues that by 'orbiting' around this hairball, individuals can maintain their unique creative identities while still contributing to the corporate mission.

The book is filled with anecdotes, sketches, and practical advice on how to balance creativity with the discipline of business.
