A Fast Company founder and former editorial director of Harvard Business Review provides "guidance and hope in a world gone upside down" (Jim Collins, New York Times–bestselling author of Good to Great).
Take your work seriously, Yourself, not so much.
Loyalty is a two-way street.
Don't implement solutions. Prevent problems.
This dramatic, unpredictable era has wiped out time-honored businesses and long-standing institutions while ushering in unprecedented opportunities for creative individuals and entrepreneurial organizations. The job is no longer figuring out how to win at the game of work and life—it's figuring out the new rules of the game.
Rules of Thumb provides fifty-two rules for individuals in every walk of life who want to make sense out of these confusing, challenging, and compelling times. If you're looking for practical advice on how to win at work without losing your self, if you want to change your life to meet the challenge of change, or if you want to learn from some of the world's most interesting and creative people, let entrepreneur, Santa Fe mayor, and acclaimed business author Alan M. Webber take you on a remarkable journey toward greater personal understanding and, ultimately, greater personal success.
