Economics & Business; Advice on careers & achieving success

How to get round tired old office systems to take control of your work and life

It would be so much easier to do great work if not for pointless

bureaucracies, outdated technologies, and deeply irrational rules. These

things are killing us. Frustrating? Hell, yes.

But take heart.

Today's top performers are taking matters into their own hands-

bypassing sacred structures, using forbidden tools, and ignoring silly

corporate edicts. In other words, they are hacking work to increase

their efficiency and job satisfaction.

In this groundbreaking

book, consultant Bill Jensen and hacker Josh Klein reveal how to work

smarter instead of harder. Once you learn how to hack work, you'll

accomplish more in less time. You'll cut through red tape and circumvent

stupid procedures.

Hacking Work is about making the

system work for you, so you can take control of your work load, increase

your productivity, and help your company succeed - in spite of itself.
