What I found is that this book lacks any depth on these broad concepts that other books have tackled in greater depth. For example, the cliche "80/20" rule is mentioned for One Minute Goal Setting -- if you want to know how to truly implement this into your life, read The 4-Hour Work Week, and if you really really REALLY want to use 80/20 in your life read The 80/20 Principle. Also, the praise for good work is a very basic concept that How To Win Friends & Influence People published many generations ago. However, the one thing I did take from this book is that we want to lead by encouraging others to manage themselves. Great concept I'll be implementing into my management strategy. There are better books out there for learned this stuff. Again, I'd start like this: 1. How to Win Friends & Influence People (great book that will never get old) 2. 4-Hour Work Week (this has the condensed concepts of The 80/20 Principle Book) 3. The 80/20 Principle (amazing book. I'd recommend anyone who likes the "simplicity" movement read this) Funny… after we ran into each other at the book store today, I sat down and read this book.

What I found is that this book lacks any depth on these broad concepts that other books have tackled in greater depth. For example, the cliche “80/20″ rule is mentioned for One Minute Goal Setting — if you want to know how to truly implement this into your life, read The 4-Hour Work Week, and if you really really REALLY want to use 80/20 in your life read The 80/20 Principle.
