How anyone can be more effective with less effort by learning
how to identify and leverage the 80/20 principle--the well-known,
unpublicized secret that 80 percent of all our results in business
and in life stem from a mere 20 percent of our efforts.
The 80/20 principle is one of the great secrets of highly
effective people and organizations.
Did you know, for example, that 20 percent of customers account
for 80 percent of revenues? That 20 percent of our time accounts
for 80 percent of the work we accomplish? The 80/20 Principle shows
how we can achieve much more with much less effort, time, and
resources, simply by identifying and focusing our efforts on the 20
percent that really counts. Although the 80/20 principle has long
influenced today's business world, author Richard Koch reveals how
the principle works and shows how we can use it in a systematic and
practical way to vastly increase our effectiveness, and improve our
careers and our companies.
The unspoken corollary to the 80/20 principle is that little of
what we spend our time on actually counts. But by concentrating on
those things that do, we can unlock the enormous potential of the
magic 20 percent, and transform our effectiveness in our jobs, our
careers, our businesses, and our lives.
