Much of {{br|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. | |||
It is written in a brutally economical style, consistent with its underlying message: everything is overcomplicated: simplify, simplify, simplify. It is also a manifesto for those who want to start their own business. For those who dream fitfully of pulling the rip cord on the corporate treadmill - and let's face it: in these miserable times, we are many - this might be just the firm push between the shoulder blades we need. | |||
Rework is funny, too, and it contains many quotable quotes. My favourite: "Policies are organisation 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. | |||
