Features: The Fast World has a paradox: The more you do, the less time you find. Working in such a world involves common fast-paced obstacles: project deadlines are too short to complete; you've done a lot but feel the core aspects are still untouched; due to excessive work, you become less meticulous; you attend endless meetings, yet they solve almost nothing; your team's morale plummets under constantly lowered expectations, and sometimes the harder you try, the worse things get... Project management clearly cannot proceed as before. We need to understand and follow new rules in this new work environment, simply put, it's about cultivating project thinking. The Rules for Working Faster virtually portrays a project team, allowing you to identify the reasons behind the confusion affecting you and your team from the obstacles they face, and to find a breakthrough in the interconnected four simple steps. Barry Flick's rules have been validated by thousands of participants and trainers. Though not overly complex, they are endlessly profound—just as the author himself says, this book will forever change your work approach, putting you in the driver's seat.
