Bestselling author Richard Koch shows managers how to apply the 80/20 Principle to achieve exceptional results at work — without stress or long hours.
In his bestselling book The 80/20 Principle , Richard Koch showed readers how to put the 80/20 Principle — the idea that 80 percent of results come from just 20 percent of effort — into practice in their personal lives. Now in The 80/20 Manager, he demonstrates how to apply the principle to management.
An 80/20 manager learns to focus only on the issues that really matter, achieving exceptional results, and feeling successful everyday while working less hard in fewer hours. A large number of managers — especially in these difficult times — feel completely overwhelmed. Their inboxes are overflowing and they constantly struggle to finish their to-do lists, leaving little time for the things that really matter. The 80/20 Manager shows a new way to look at management — and at life — to enjoy work and build a successful and fulfilling career.

"Koch provides a step-by-step guide to greater efficiency, helping readers with topics including mentoring, leveraging influence, finding meaning and direction, developing strategy, and consistently pursuing the biggest goals with the smallest effort....This easy-to-follow, substantive work helps readers develop a managerial style that's truly worthwhile."
---Publishers Weekly -
"A notch above most management tomes.... Here is a book that you've been waiting for: A serious management text that encourages you to cultivate laziness. No, not a true do-nothing indolence, but an intelligent, strategic laziness. A laziness that gives you ample time to think creatively and act decisively on the matters that are really important." -- Charles Crumpley, Los Angeles Business Journal
