This Christmas, I wanted to share something meaningful—a gift that combines wit, ideas, and a touch of reality. My book, The Blind Leading the Disengaged, is my way of calling out the corporate chaos and offering a path toward better employee experiences.
I hope it brings a smile, a nod, or even a new idea to take into the New Year. Wishing you a holiday season filled with joy, warmth, and the excitement of new beginnings!
What do others have to say about the book?
"As HR leaders, we are no strangers to criticism of our practices. In this book Szilvia questions the status quo, prompting us to reevaluate outdated processes and focus on their fundamental purpose: benefiting employees. It is this dedication to meaningful change through honest and sometimes confrontational questions that sets her work apart and compels us to reevaluate our own positions." - Rachel Moosa, CHRO
"HR is broken. It’s no longer a question but a statement. Employee dissatisfaction is often hidden behind a corporate façade, but Szilvia brings to the open this crucial call to action that all employers need to address in their HR working practices. Despite the noise that “HR is failing and not fit for purpose”, actually challenging the traditional HR doctrines is still not the norm but is something badly needed. Those who see that HR is broken are those who work in it. Yet, these are often the last people who want to change things. This is why this book is both necessary and welcome to the HR profession. This book provides a compelling blend of personal anecdotes and professional insights which reveal the deep-seated issues within conventional employee management practices in today’s corporate HR departments." - Judith Fiddler, HR and Employment Law Expert & Founder of HRinRehab - Featured in BBC, Mirror, Daily Mail, Manchester Evening News, The Sun
"For those tired of the same old corporate speak and superficial team-building exercises that lead nowhere, this book offers a fresh, if challenging, pathway to making work a place where people can truly grow and thrive. It’s an essential read for anyone serious about making meaningful changes in the way we work.
In conclusion, while the book does not provide step-by-step solutions—fittingly so, as Szilvia respects the reader’s intelligence to develop tailored strategies—it empowers them to think critically and act decisively. It’s a transformative work that could redefine not only how we see HR and leadership but how we enact our roles within the corporate machine.
Highly recommended for its courage, insight, and potential to instigate real and lasting change in our workplaces.” - Steve Worthy, Founder/CEO Worthy Retail - Retail Impacts everyone, every day...all around the world. www.worthyretail.com
