Average Rating: Rating: - GFagen A great study of how business should be run. Stay true to yourself, your employees and your customers and success will be yours. This book highlights companies from widely ranging industries and shows that "common sense" always trumps complicated process. If you read Jennings's first book, you will thoroughly enjoy this one. An easy and entertaining read. This book does what most don't.....get you thinking and start applying paradigm shifting practice right away. In the age of ENRON, MCI, Arthur Anderson and the DOTCOM bust, this book proves that the true maxums of successful and long lasting business have always applied. Truth, Honesty, and Integrity. Rating: - Great fun and great sense! This book is just plain fun to read. Jason Jennings is a great story teller; the fact that you gain great insights into business is a bonus. Yes, some of the concepts have been talked about before (Simple BIG Objectives are similar to Jim Collins' BHAGs) but the stories illustrating each point are invariably on topic and extremely well written. The chapter on Compensation alone is worth the price of the book. "In companies without a culture, money frequently becomes the culture by default." WOW! This book will be the "In Search of Excellence" of the 2000s. Rating: - Less is More, gives you More Less is More is jam packed with More practical, well researched business sense and Less bureaucratic Bull-S...than any contemporary academic business literature. Jason Jennings, in his second book, will arguably become a more popular and influential business author in the 21st century than Dale Carnegie was in past decades. Less is More outlines five key components of gaining and sustaining a competitive advantage through superior productivity. The book investigates some well known global organizations, and some lesser visible companies who have successfully negotiated the intensely competitive marketplace. Each business has a remarkably similar approach to achieving their incredible feats, it is this formula that Jennings details. From a simple Big Objective, to some shattering truths about the digital and technological revolutions many businesses seem eager to embrace. The myths and non-negotiable musts of streamlining an organization are discussed, reducing behemoth bureaucracies, systemization, Kaizen, and a tactic often forgotten, telling the truth. This refreshing insight is an exciting read, and motivates managers to embrace a better way yielding proven productivity gains. If you're stuck in an anachronistic organization, who think they are moving forward by going backwards, or with an out of touch boss, there is hope! The final chapter details the traits required to lead a highly productive enterprise, and concludes with four practical tips on the choices you can now make to move your career ahead. Jason Jennings has written an essential, five star read,for the business leaders of today. It's compulsory for 2003!
