David Axson is called a CFO whisperer, but I'm also calling him an expert on calling the flaws and weaknesses of some of the biggest name management tools and systems from the past that are still influencing our decision-making today.

David is the author of the 2010 book, The Management Mythbuster. In this conversation, we hit on a variety of topics, such as:

  • annual budgeting
  • performance pay
  • calendar-driven reporting
  • informational vs. analytical data
  • EBITDA
  • management GURUs
  • cost allocation

We wrap up with David's appreciation for the business classics, and we'll hear his five favorites.
