    About this ebook

    Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush, Sir Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg have all said that that change or growth happen from the bottom up.

    But what does it mean and how do you do “bottom up” better and smarter? Bottom up is a way of life and a way of doing business. The Bottom-Up Revolution: Mastering the Emerging World of Connectivity, picks up where Malcolm Gladwell’s Tipping Point left off. It is a how-to book for businesses, leaders, organizations, activists, and individuals, cracking wide-open humankind’s biggest trend in seven million years. By understanding the roots and implications of “bottom up” and “top down” you’ll be better able to tap the incredible power of this trend, as the billionaire founders of Google, Facebook, Craigslist and Twitter have done.

      This review was written for LibraryThing Member GiveawayThe bottom-up revolution is a old/new way of looking at decision making in which groups are local, equal, feedback-driven, decentralized, open, small, slow, sharing and many other characteristics. The top-down model is hierarchical and the few make decisions, what we see today in government and business. Rob Kall, a talk-show host and conference presenter, has written about the new approach, breaking it down and applying it to economics, business, the media, the internet and life in general with many examples. (By old, Kall means that originally humans were in small groups and those groups made decisions using the bottom-up approach.) First, I must stress that this is not a scholarly work! There is an appendix but is it mostly a chapter by chapter listing of interviews from the author's radio program with a few private interviews, in a random order - sometimes following the chapter's order. However not all the names mentioned are referenced in the appendix. There was no easy way to fact check any of the material since the radio shows are not in print. Also there is no standard citing style - there is last name, first name or regular name order and the author is listed as Rob Kall and Kall Rob in the appendix. Since it is understood that this is his radio show, his name did not need to appear so many times. And when a book is cited in the text, there is no note in the appendix, even if the quote is several paragraphs long. Every college student knows this simply is not done. There is no bibliography. I did not have an index to work with but I understand that there will be one in the final copy. And there should have been better editing by the publisher for entries in the appendix and typos, especially in obvious cases like: the six stages of the connection experience with seven stages listed or names in the text that did not match the name in the appendix.Kall says that bottom-up language is slang and dialect and that it should be used in bottom-up thinking and the King's English has no place here, which means all scholars and serious readers of the book will not take the subject seriously. Proper English grammar is a necessity for both bottom-up and top-down thinking so we can all understand each other. Kall also says search for the internet for your answers. Be careful here - most internet resources are not properly screened and contain a lot of inaccurate information. If you need to use the internet, ask a librarian first. Preferably use reliable and vetted sources.Kall also gets into politics without admitting that Trump used bottom-up tactics to run his campaign (and his presidency to my dismay) while Clinton was very definitely top-down and not the bottom-up believer that he thinks she is - remember "we're with her," not the better slogan "she's with us." Bottom-up won the election. (And in the interests of disclosure, my candidate lost in the primaries.) Kall does address Move-On.Org and the Tea Party as well as Occupy Wall Street but makes opinions and judgments. A scholarly work strives for balance - Kall's opinions are obvious. Hopefully he is not as unbalanced in his corporate presentations.This is a serious subject and deserves a serious rewrite. Hopefully this will happen
