Stuart Liptay’s Debut Book, Incompecrats, Explores the Art of Looking Busy | Pickle Planet Podcast S9E8

Well-known Albert County Auctioneer Becomes Author: Stuart Liptay on writing Incompecrats and how his workplace insights transfer to everyday life

You might not be familiar with the word incompecrat (probably because Stuart came up with it!), but you certainly know one. A person who is always busy but doesn’t seem to actually get the work done, someone who uses buzzwords and jargon but doesn’t deliver. Stuart Liptay found himself pondering the negative impact such people can have on a workplace and what could be done to change such behaviour. The result was not one but two books, Incompecrats: The Dark Art of Failing Up and Canada in the Age of Incompecracy – From Builders to Bureacrats – And Back Again, examining the pitfalls of performative personalities. He joins Jenna & Tosh to talk about his ideas and how his workplace insights can relate to everyday life.
