Why Managing Sucks and How to Fix It (ePub)

Change the way you think about work (and life) by focusing on
results--and only results

Why Managing Sucks and How to Fix It shows how the
Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE) mindset can make you or your
organization more entrepreneurial, more connected with the broader
trends in your industry, and more willing to take smart risks. It
explains how to set clear expectations and focus on the endpoint as
opposed to managing the process that gets you there. With eyes set
on getting rid of distractions, long meetings, and unnecessary
updates, this book offers quick, everyday strategies to experience
huge increases in productivity (without adding resources) and
dramatic drops in turnover.

* Authors Ressler and Thompson began their work together at Best
Buy where they are credited with revolutionizing the workplace

* Reframes thinking away from counting on general availability
(Where's Bob?) to creating clear expectations (Does Bob know
exactly what's expected of him?)

* Explains how to reduce the number of meetings while increasing
their quality

* Shows how to eliminate scheduled events in order to increase
critical thinking and improve communication

ROWE is a bold, cultural transformation that permeates the
attitudes and operating style of an entire workplace, leveling the
playing field and giving people complete autonomy--to manage
their measurable results using adult common sense.
