    About this audiobook

    Fifteen years ago Richard Koch introduced the world to the 80/20 Principle. Now he shows managers how to use the Principle to achieve exceptional results at work - without stress or long hours.

    A large number of managers - especially in these difficult times - feel completely overwhelmed. Their inboxes are overflowing, they constantly struggle to finish their to-do lists and they stay at work longer than they would like to, leaving little time for the things that really matter.

    Luckily there is a way for managers to enjoy work and build a successful and fulfilling career without stress or long hours.

    In his bestselling book The 80/20 Principle, Richard Koch showed readers how to put the 80/20 Principle - the idea that 80 per cent of results come from just 20 per cent of effort - into practice in their personal lives. Now he demonstrates the few things you need to do in the workplace to multiply the results you achieve.

    By applying the strategies outlined in The 80/20 Manager, you will:

  • Put in fewer hours than your colleagues yet never be short of time
  • Learn to focus only on the issues that really matter, and ignore those that don't
  • Achieve exceptional results by working less hard
  • Feel successful every day

      This book really is two halves that don't really work together all that well. However, if you read the 20% that makes sense to you, you can still get some good value out of this read, The first half of the book explains the principle (most people are aware of it by now) and shows how to apply it to your business, increase profits and revenue and decrease expenses. Detailed case studies are reviewed and step by step applications to apply it to your business are given. Most of the information applies to a private business, so those in public positions (hospital staff, government workers) will not be able to apply those examples directly, but can still take a lot of value from the examples and principles shown.However, the second half of the book becomes as theoretical as the first half is analytical. You will read phrases like "Use all the willpower at your disposal to make yourself happy. Construct the right stories about yourself--and believe them." If this kind of drivel is helpful to you, you can skip the first part and read the second. Otherwise, the value added in the last 100 pages is most definitely not in the 20% of the book that should be studied.

      More then 80 percent of this book seemed repetative and an over application. Introduction to and overview of principle was helpful, but beyond that reading the whole book added little value
    • 5/5
      This is the most instantly impactful book I’ve read in a long time. The Pareto principle is simple, observable and common knowledge for anyone who has studied basic economics. Still we fail to apply it, even though doing so can yield immediate returns. Koch’s writing is all about activating the concept, which he does through stories, hard data, and his own track record. In course, he turns the mantra of succeeding primarily through hard work completely on its head. He walks the walk, even recommending the reader skip certain chapters based on their needs. I’ve already started applying the concepts to my calendar and to-do list, resulting in a changed mindset throughout the day and more time for higher priorities. (I find it interesting that I had read this book 12 years ago and didn’t find it as useful or, apparently, memorable. Perhaps I am more motivated by time and practical results now, or perhaps I was just in a different place then.)
