It is a beautiful review:)
You have added ...Hi Amal<br />It is a beautiful review:)<br />You have added more value to the book :)<br />As you already mentioned in your review, the authors broke the rigid rules of writing: the titles of the summary, the style of writing and of course several concepts that have been abolished, especially in the first part.<br />The reader of the book will be impressed by the simplicity of the style despite the complexity of the subject which is essentially "how to build your own business."<br />I think this is a book that will motivate people who already have a project idea in the head. However, when the authors talk about their experiences in 37signals and about other successful experiences, in my opinion, it was superficial.<br />I share with you other extracts that I enjoyed:<br />- Don’t be afraid to show your flaws. Imperfections are real and people respond to real. It’s why we like real flowers that wilt, not perfect plastic ones that never change. Don’t worry about how you’re supposed to sound and how you’re supposed to act. Show the world what you’re really like, warts and all.<br />- There’s a beauty to imperfection. Leonard Koren, author of a book on wabi-sabi, gives this advice: Pare down to the essence, but don’t remove the poetry. Keep things clean and unencumbered but don’t sterilize.<br />- When you treat people like children, you get children’s work. Yet that’s exactly how a lot of companies and managers treat their employees. Employees need to ask permission before they can do anything. They need to get approval for every tiny expenditure. It’s surprising they don’t have to get a hall pass to go take a shit.<br />When everything constantly needs approval, you create a culture of nonthinkers. You create a boss-versus-worker relationship that screams, “I don’t trust you.”<br />- As the saying goes, “If you want something done, ask the busiest person you know.” You want busy people. People who have a life outside of work. People who care about more than one thing. You shouldn’t expect the job to be someone’s entire life—at least not if you want to keep them around for a long time.rachahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489783671108526700noreply@blogger.com
