In the early 12th century, members of the Chinese royal court found themselves surrounded by advisors who mirrored only their own perspectives. Out of fear and complacency, few of these advisors challenged accepted wisdom, questioned the status quo, or voiced their concerns. Insightful leaders realized this denied them critical access to the reality about themselves and their organizations. Court jesters, however, free from conventional restraints and fears, began to supply truth in very clever ways, thereby opening up new perspectives, insights, ideas and options for those leaders they attended. Today, more than ever, individuals are searching for ways to positively contribute to organizational leadership, culture and behavior. To do that successfully, they need insight into organizational truth as well as strategies to reveal that truth to others in a way that does not cause defensiveness or resistance. Jesters are needed as much today just as they were in the courts of old. David Riveness, in his insightful and entertaining book The Secret Life of the Corporate Jester, reveals how to adopt and apply a ?jester's perspective.?

Inspirational, funny and truly original, this is much more than a sports autobiography. It is the story of one man's success against all the odds, set against the backdrop of a country in the midst of revolution and war.
