Be
more effective with less effort by learning how to identify and
leverage the 80/20 principle: that 80 percent of all our results in
business and in life stem from a mere 20 percent of our efforts.
The 80/20 principle is one of the great secrets of highly effective people and organizations.
Did
you know, for example, that 20 percent of customers account for 80
percent of revenues? That 20 percent of our time accounts for 80 percent
of the work we accomplish? The 80/20 Principle
shows how we can achieve much more with much less effort, time, and
resources, simply by identifying and focusing our efforts on the 20
percent that really counts. Although the 80/20 principle has long
influenced today's business world, author Richard Koch reveals how the
principle works and shows how we can use it in a systematic and
practical way to vastly increase our effectiveness, and improve our
careers and our companies.
The unspoken corollary to the 80/20
principle is that little of what we spend our time on actually counts.
But by concentrating on those things that do, we can unlock the enormous
potential of the magic 20 percent, and transform our effectiveness in
our jobs, our careers, our businesses, and our lives.
