"READ THIS BOOK AND USE IT." TIM FERRISS Millions of highly
effective people have become more successful by understanding the
simple fact that 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts.
All you have to do is identify the 20 percent that leads to 80
percent. The 80/20 Principle shows you how. Richard Koch's
million-copy-selling global bestseller is now completely revised
and updated, and more powerful and essential than ever. He reveals
how the principle works and shows how to use it in a systematic and
practical way to vastly increase your effectiveness, and improve
your career. The unspoken corollary to the 80/20 principle is that
little of what you spend your time on actually counts. But by
concentrating on those things that do, you can unlock the enormous
potential of the magic 20 percent. Discover how to identify the few
methods that will lead to great results, and use them alone. Avoid
hard work. Don't push water uphill. Be very selective in what you
do. Have a great life. 80/20 is the essential tool for anyone who
wants to succeed. Be more effective with less effort by learning
how to leverage the 80/20 principle.
The most important part of a leader's job is to set in motion the actions today that will build a better future tomorrow - in other words, strategy. But how do leaders become strategists?
In this ground-breaking book, Richard Rumelt, the world's leading authority on strategy, shows how finding the crux of a challenge is the essence of the strategist's skill. The crux is the key issue where action will best pay off, and Rumelt reveals how to pinpoint it so you can focus energy on what really matters.
Drawing on decades of professional and academic experience, and through vivid storytelling of some of the most important business decisions of recent times, Rumelt illuminates how leaders can overcome obstacles, navigate uncertainty and determine the best path forward.
Strategy is not about setting financial targets, statements of desired outcomes, or performance goals, it is about finding the crux and taking decisive, coherent action.
Economic Effects of Natural Disasters explores how natural
disasters affect sources of economic growth and development. Using
theoretical econometrics and real-world data, and drawing on
advances in climate change economics, the book shows scholars and
researchers how to use various research methods and techniques to
investigate and respond to natural disasters. No other book
presents empirical frameworks for the evaluation of the quality of
macroeconomic research practice with a focus on climate change and
natural disasters. Because many of these subjects are so large,
different regions of the world use different approaches, hence this
resource presents tailored economic applications and evidence.
