Chariton Review 2019/20 Combined Issue
Book two in the Scorched Heavens Novel series about a Black princess and the diverse characters of The Golden Reef. Not only has Suzurain been displaced from his home, the tranquil city-state of The Golden Reef, but now he also stands as a disgrace to his once esteemed title of Royal Protector to the heir of the throne, Karmagant Ak'an, The Salt Princess. Embattled by his own feelings of failure and bitterness of the Angou tribes who have radically disrupted his life, Suzurain now braves the wilderness in a desperate mission to find Karma, who is both his sovereign and his closest friend. What he discovers causes him to question everything he's ever known. As for Karma herself, she pursues a dangerous path to uncover a great mystery, and, she hopes, to save her people.
In a hierarchy, every employee rises to the level of their own incompetence.This simple maxim, defined by this classic book over 40 years ago, has become a beacon of truth in the world of work. From the civil service to multinational companies to hospital management, it explains why things constantly go wrong: promotion up a hierarchy inevitably leads to over-promotion and incompetence. Through barbed anecdotes and wry humour the authors define the problem and show how anyone, whether at the top or bottom of the career ladder, can avoid its pitfalls. Or, indeed, avoid promotion entirely!
