The fifth edition of this bestselling book is your easy-to-read, jargon-free guide to the strategic models and thinkers you really need to know about.

How do people of seemingly ordinary talent go on to achieve unexpected results? What can we learn from them? What are the ingredients for unreasonable success and how is it achieved? In this ground-breaking book, bestselling author Richard Koch charts a map of success, identifying the nine key attitudes and strategies can propel anyone to new heights of accomplishment. The pattern of success is fractal. It is endlessly varied but endlessly similar. Success does not require genius, consistency, all-round ability, a safe pair of hands or even basic competence. If it did, most of the people in this book would not have impacted the world as they did. Who could have predicted that Nelson Mandela, a once-obscure lawyer, could have averted disaster in South Africa, reconciling people of different heritages to each other and establishing a viable democracy? Or that Helena Rubinstein, a young woman growing up in the grotty ghetto of Krakow, could have changed the face of beauty throughout the world? Or that the illegitimate son of a notary would become one of the world's greatest painters, known universally by his first name, Leonardo? Successful people typically don't plan their success. Instead they develop a unique philosophy or attitude that works for them. They stumble across strategies which are shortcuts to success, and latch onto them. Events hand them opportunities they could not have anticipated. Often their peers with equal or greater talent fail while they succeed. It is too easy to attribute success to inherent, unstoppable genius. With this book, you can embark on a journey towards a new, unreasonably successful future.

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.

Richard Koch has made over GBP100 million from spotting 'Star' businesses. In his new book, he shares the secrets of his success - and shows how you too can identify and enrich yourself from 'Stars'. Star businesses are ventures operating in a high-growth sector - and are the leaders in their niche of the market. Stars are rare. But with the help of this book and a little patience, you can find one, or create one yourself. THE STAR PRINCIPLE is a vital book for any budding entrepreneur or investor (of grand or modest means). It is also invaluable for any ambitious employee who realises the benefits of working for a Star venture - real responsibility, fast personal development, better pay, great bonuses and valuable share options. Whoever your are, identifying and investing in Stars will make your life much sweeter and richer in every way.

For the past forty years, Richard Koch has worked to uncover simple and elegant principles which govern business success. To qualify, a principle must be so overwhelmingly powerful that anyone can reliably apply it to generate extraordinary results. Working with venture capitalist Greg Lockwood and supported by specially commissioned research from OC&C Strategy Consultants, Koch has now found one elemental principle that unites extraordinarily valuable companies: simplifying. Some firms simplify on price - consider budget flights stripped of all extras that still take you from A to B - creating new, huge mass markets for their wares. Others, such as Apple, simplify their proposition, bringing a beautifully easy-to-use product or service to a large premium market. How can your business become a simplifier? With case studies of some of the most famous firms of the last hundred years, from finance to fast food, this enlightening book shows how to analyse any company's potential to simplify, and enrich the world.

Smart Leadership provides a completely up to date overview of the current thinking on leadership. It outlines the latest theories and principles you need to apply to be a successful leader and includes tips and wisdom from the greatest business thinkers and writers.

Die Verkehrsverhaltnisse in GroBstadten und las Be(liirfnis nach Garagen. In den Illodernen GroGstadten entwickelt Rich allllliihlich eine klare Scheidung zwischen ausgesprochenen Geschiifts- und aus gesprochenen Wohnvierteln. Dadurch wand ern taglich ganze Heere von Erwerbstatigen von ihren, in den verRchiedem;ten Ge genden gelegenen Wohnstatten zur Arbeitsstelle. Mit zUllehmen der GroGe der Stadt wachsen diese vYege so an, daG die Iehrzahl ein Verkehrslllittel benutzen muG, um zur Arbeitsstelle Zll ge langen. Da nun die Fahrt von und zu der Arbeitsstatte einen Zu schlag zur Arbeitszeit, also eine Minderung der freien Erholungs zeit bedeutet, sucht jeder diese "unproduktive Arbeitszeit" nach Moglichkeit abzukiirzen. Ein bedeutendes Merkmal der modernen GroGstadt ist daher das Bestreben, die Verkehrsverhiiltnisse immer mehr zu verbessern und den Bediirfnissen der Bevolkerung anzupassen. Die offentlichen Verkehrsmittel sind nahe an der Grenze ihrer Leistungsmoglichkeit angelangt. Den Eisenbahnen ist durch die Liinge der Ziige und ein MindestmaG von Zugabstand eine gewisse Grenze gesetzt; die StraGenbahn - die in Berlin im August 192:5 5:5 vH aller Fahrgiiste befordcrte - ist, wenigstens im Stadt innern, nicht mehr ausbaufahig. Nur die Untergrundbahn HiGt sich, wenn auch mit groGen Kosten, noch in ihrer Leistungs fiihigkeit steigern. Wesentlich giinstiger liegen die Verhiiltnisse bei den nicht an Schienen gebundenen Fahrzeugen: dem Autobus im offentlichen und dem Automobil im privaten Verkehr. Beide sind in der Lage, sich ohne Schwierigkeit den wechselnden Verkehrsverhiiltnissen anzupassen."
