Download Rules of Thumb: 52 Truths for Winning at Business Without Losing Your Self AudioBook Free
We reside in an environment of dramatic, tumultuous, and unpredictable change—change that is wiping out time-honored businesses and long-standing companies and ushering in unprecedented opportunities for creative individuals and entrepreneurial organizations. So pervasive is change today so it has redefined our first job: The work is no longer figuring out how to earn at the overall game of work and life; the job is figuring out the new rules of the overall game. That's the framework for Alan M. Webber's Guidelines of Thumb, helpful information for individuals in every walk of life who want to make sense out of these puzzling, challenging, and compelling times. Sketching from his own encounters as cofounding editor of Fast Company publication and a wide range of interactions with a few of the world's leading thinkers and highest achievers, including Nobel Reward winners and global change realtors, Webber has produced 52 "guidelines"—a variety that is as wise as it pays to and as genuine as it is effective. The rules result from real-life lessons learned and documented on three-by-five credit cards, a trick borrowed from one of the many mentors whose teachings Webber captures and catalogues in this book. If you are looking for practical advice about how to win at the job without losing on your own, if you need to change your daily life to meet up with the challenge of change, or if you need to learn from a few of the world's most interesting and creative people, let Alan M. Webber take you on the remarkable quest toward greater personal understanding and, in the end, greater personal success.
