Features: Are you working too fast? You're busy. But the pace of this world is much faster than you think. Change happens every day, and no matter how quickly you move, you can't keep up with the ever-expanding plans to your satisfaction. Yes, working too fast is no longer an anomaly—it's our work environment. You can't choose to participate or withdraw, just like you can't choose the air you breathe. But you can choose to work according to the rules of working too fast, allowing yourself to break free from every speed obstacle. There's a paradox in the world of working too fast: the more you do, the less time you have. In this world, there are common speed obstacles in work: project deadlines are too short to complete; you've done a lot, but feel like you haven't touched the core; due to excessive work, you're becoming less meticulous; you attend endless meetings, but they solve very few problems; your team's morale is declining due to constantly diminishing expectations, and sometimes the harder you try, the worse things get... Project management clearly can no longer proceed as it used to. We need to understand and follow new rules in this new work atmosphere—simply put, it's about cultivating project thinking. The Rules of Working Too Fast creates a virtual project team. You can find the reasons behind the confusion that baffles you and your team in the obstacles they encounter, and discover a breakthrough in the four interconnected, simple steps. The effectiveness of Barry Flick's rules has been proven by thousands of participants and trainers. It's not cumbersome yet infinitely profound, as the author himself says, this book will forever change your work style and put you in control.
