Review: Reframes Your Mindset and Habits - This book's primary messages are now a part of how I think and operate. Continuous improvement using 80/20 is key; you just keep iterating until you can squeeze no more out of what you're optimizing. Then you can evaluate what you're optimizing for as well and improve that. Basically, stack the deck in your favor and when it makes sense get aggressive about it to see real growth and improvement in something. I try to design spreadsheets that automatically display results in a way that I can quickly spot which 20% is giving me 80% of the upside and downside. Review: Brilliant, insightful, actionable, required reading. - Richard Koch has spent 30 years decoding the underpinnings of business (and life) in the post-digital world. His distinction between online business and networked businesses is eye-opening. The 4th edition of The 80/20 Principle starts with Pareto's observations that, as the economy moved from agriculture to tightly integrated manufacturing, a minority (20%) of the moving parts created most (80%) of the profits. We're now moving, from that supply-chain economy where large organizations drive growth to a rapidly evolving networked economy. If you want to discern how your career or business or nonprofit or even happiness can thrive -- I can't imagine anyone doing that without Koch's practical wisdom of a lifetime of study and practice -- and his deep caring about how it all turns out.
