Much of it just simply won't apply to my life or lifestyle, but still a very interesting principle to read about and some "food for thought" for my future. ( ) This is the most instantly impactful book I’ve read in a long time. The Pareto principle is simple, observable and common knowledge for anyone who has studied basic economics. Still we fail to apply it, even though doing so can yield immediate returns. Koch’s writing is all about activating the concept, which he does through stories, hard data, and his own track record. In course, he turns the mantra of succeeding primarily through hard work completely on its head. He walks the walk, even recommending the reader skip certain chapters based on their needs. I’ve already started applying the concepts to my calendar and to-do list, resulting in a changed mindset throughout the day and more time for higher priorities. (I find it interesting that I had read this book 12 years ago and didn’t find it as useful or, apparently, memorable. Perhaps I am more motivated by time and practical results now, or perhaps I was just in a different place then.) Have you ever heard about the economist, Vilfredo Pareto? He discovered something rather peculiar about distribution. It does not distribute equally. It follows a model closer to 80/20. It is known as Pareto’s Principle or the 80/20 Principle. Richard Koch detailed this 1896 principle in length in his book, The 80/20 Principle: The Secret to Achieving More with Less. It is a principle worth getting to know. Read more Quin reviewed it thus: "I give it five out of five but here's the deal. I think the book itself follows the 80/20 rule. 20% of the book gives you 80% of the value. Do this: Read a short definition of the 80/20 rule on the web. Skip to chapter 9 and begin reading the book. Stop when you finish chapter 11. Read 13 and then skim the rest of the book." I agree with Quin that 80% of the value is in 20% of the book. So, I kind of followed his advice. I skimmed the first 8 chapters. I especially liked the last chapter where he discussed objections and limitations to the 80/20 rule of thumb. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Durante los diez años que han transcurrido desde que se publicara por primera vez, El principio del 80/20 se ha convertido en un clásico del mundo de la empresa y en un éxito de ventas en todo el mundo. La edición especial para conmemorar el décimo aniversario de este libro práctico, provocador y original contiene un capítulo completamente nuevo, en el que Richard Koch comenta algunas de las centenas de reacciones que ha recibido por parte de los lectores del libro y presenta una explicación revisada del verdadero poder del principio. Koch explica cómo el principio del 80/20 permite lograr mucho más invirtiendo mucho menos esfuerzo, tiempo y recursos; tan sólo hay que concentrarse en ese 20 por ciento fundamental y, por lo tanto, controlar lo que sucede, en lugar de dejar que lo que sucede nos controle a nosotros, y multiplicar los resultados varias veces.
