Guide Review - Rules of Thumb
Rules of Thumb: 52 Truths for Winning at Business Without Losing Yourself, written by Alan M. Webber (co-founder of Fast Company magazine and formal editorial director of the Harvard Business Review), is part memoir and part instruction manual. It offers practical advice for winning in business and in life.
Throughout the book, Webber presents 52 "rules of thumb" that he has gathered over the last 40 years. Each rule includes a "So What" that helps readers relate the rule to a problem or situation in their work or home life.
Rules of Thumb covers such a wide range of topics that it is impossible not to take something away from this book. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to identify and achieve their business goals.
