Foreword
This book is a must-read. The third book in the 'applying stuff' trilogy, after 'Applying the art of war in non-war items' and 'Applying Buddhist principles at work without psyching out the others', this book takes a bold step forward from where the author left off in Book-two. Every young manager should buy a copy. Right now. I'm not kidding.
Excellence at work has always been an archaic body of knowledge, not accessible to the casual reader. The author not only distills the main principles from this body of esoteric knowledge but also teaches us, in a funny and definitely readable way, through illustrated stories, how to use those principles at our workplace to achieve excellence.
For instance, Rule #1 : Do work. Deceptively straightforward, but once you finish this section, well, move on to the next. Rule #2 : Don't beat up people. Elucidated through simple but delightful horror stories of corporate crime, this section is a definite page-stopper. Rule #3 : Take a break but let that not be the only thing you do. This self-explanatory portion still runs into several pages. There are more principles that follow, covering all aspects of work and I'm very excited about getting to those sections later this week! Happy reading!
