Rules of Work, The
A definitive code for personal success

The Rules of Work is first and foremost a guide for the individual manager, an eye-opener for all those who would like to rise to the top but don't seem to be able to find the map. But it is also very much a book for the organization itself: the great danger is fossilization, becoming preoccupied with its internal tasks and systems and procedures, and losing touch with the world outside. And this will happen if everyone is concentrating on being efficient rather than being effective - in other words, if they don't follow The Rules.

These Rules are simple and effective, safe and practical. They are your ten steps to building confidence and creating a new and more powerful you. And building that new you morally and ethically. You aren't going to do anything that you wouldn't expect - and appreciate - others doing to you. These Rules enhance personal standards and elevate your individual principles. They're yours. Keep them safe, keep them secret.
