Armed with a few simple rules, you can tackle even the most complex of
problems.
Drawing on more than a decade of rigorous research, Sull and Eisenhardt
provide a clear framework for developing effective rules and making them
better over time. They find insights in unexpected places, from the way
Tina Fey codified her experience working at Saturday Night Live into
rules for producing 30 Rock (rule five: never tell a crazy person he's
crazy), to Japanese engineers using the foraging rules of slime molds to
optimize Tokyo's rail system. This is the definitive playbook for living
simply and efficiently in every sphere of life.
"Simple Rules . . . will help you spot unnecessary complexity,
eliminate maddening frustration, make the right decisions faster, and
have a whole lot more fun along way."--Robert I. Sutton, best-selling
author of The No Asshole Rule and coauthor of Scaling Up
Excellence
"We all deal with complexity now, and this book will show you how you
can do more with less."--Michael J. Mauboussin, head of global financial
strategies, Credit Suisse
"Simple Rules explains how we can manage to make meaningful progress
in a world that exceeds human understanding . . . This is a harbinger of
the information economy to come." --Steve Jurvetson, managing director
of Draper Fisher Jurvetson
