Focusing on the workplace but applicable to all aspects of life, this is a hands-on guide that will help readers streamline the interlaced systems that drive every aspect of an organisation. The book will show business leaders and professionals how to achieve a positive macro result by looking at their businesses and work on a micro level - by analysing and refining each of the systems that are already in place. Readers will learn how to tweak this network of systems to maximize profits, create client loyalty, and develop autonomous employees. The strategies will also help individuals improve their performance and decrease the stress of being overtaxed or disorganised. Sam Carpenter teaches readers how to: maximize their productivity when they know they are at their peak brain capacity; avoid the time-wasting imperfection of perfection; and, work less and make more. Drawing from his years of experience as the owner of a struggling business that now successfully runs itself, Carpenter offers insightful and authoritative advice that fledgling entrepreneurs, seasoned businesspeople, and frontline employees will find helpful and practical. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Store Description

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
