Learn to be effective

I found this book helpful. It has clear and comprehensive structuring when explaining ideas and what is good it is written in a step-by-step description style of delivering practical techniques to the reader. *** Whom this book could be interesting for? *** It is definitely not a study on the subject but rather a pocket reference for those who are striving for making their life more accurate in terms of a workload being properly balanced. I believe this book could be also interesting to those who having jumped into Management Land still feel they need to learn how to develop the ability of working effectively and with high effectiveness. This publication gives necessary explanation of the difference between working effectively and being efficient. Not everyone understands that: * Being effective means producing powerful results * Being efficient means producing results with the least level of wasted efforts In other words, being efficient does not necessarily mean being effective. The name of the book is reflecting `The Pareto Principle' stating that only 20% of our efforts usually provide 80% of valuable results. Remembering this principle can be quite helpful for everyone in his day-to-day routine life. *** Summary *** The book is definitely easy to read and comprehensive. If you are eager to make your life and work more effective - this book is worth of reading and worth of keeping it on your desk.
