 | Editorial team

Agile, appreciative, strategic—at least on paper. But what really happens in everyday business life is often absurd, contradictory, and surprisingly human.

With a razor-sharp eye and subtle Swiss humor, Stefan Häseli dissects modern management and exposes communication clichés, leadership myths, and office rituals. This book is satire, mirror, and therapy all at once. When you read Kick-off, you’ll laugh at first – and then think all the more. Perfect for anyone who has ever thought to themselves in the office: I can’t be the only one who feels this way.
