“ Worm on a Chopstick’s author, Paul Silverman, insists that in our new entrepreneurial world we must be prepared to think “out of the room” – and act strategically in the process. He uses colorful examples from his own experience as a businessman and teacher – including how to deal with a worm on his chopstick in a sticky situation – to explain how we have evolved to our current business state, the new risks and opportunities inherent in that state and approaches to addressing those risks and taking advantage of those opportunities. If you are looking to understand, survive and thrive in our new fast-paced, entrepreneurial business climate, I highly recommend Worm on a Chopstick.”
