ReWork: Change the Way You Work Forever
|
Much of Rework is memorialised common sense — but that kind of common sense that gets glossed over every hour of every day in every organisation in the world.
Jason Fried writes in a brutal economical style, consistent with its underlying message: everything is overcomplicated.
Simplify, simplify, simplify: a message that falls on dear ears in the legal community.
For those of us fitfully dreaming of pulling the rip cord on the corporate treadmill — let’s face it: in these miserable times, we are the many, not the few — Rework might be just the firm push between the shoulder blades we need.
Itis funny, too, and incisive, and quotable. My favourite zinger:
“Policies are organisational scar tissue. They are codified over-reactions to situations that are unlikely to happen again”.
Beautiful: and so true, says your correspondent from Legal.
You’ll be through it in a day, but you’ll read it again.
Excellent stuff.
