- 'It’s a great read' - Oliver Burkeman, author of The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking - '[Part of] a series of wonderful short books' - Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman of Ogilvy UK - 'Fantastic book, relevant no matter what sector you work in' - Maria Macnamara, MBE, Founder and CEO of the international charity Smalls For All - 'A very good book with a practical approach to Goldratt's 5 steps' - Prof Witold Łojkowski, Head of Nanostructures Laboratory, Institute of High Pressure Physics, PAS This tiny book shares one little-known concept: there's a bottleneck hiding inside your organisation, but because you don't know where it is, it's in charge. What's it doing? It's slowing your entire team, or organisation, down. The Bottleneck Rules shows you how to find your bottleneck, then manage it, no matter where you work. You'll learn how to do this using real examples from a broad range of workplaces and occupations, including accountancy, retail, airports, hospitals, software development, and hotels. It contains one Dad Joke. It's not as funny as the author thinks, but you'll find it surprisingly useful. - - - If you don't know where your bottleneck is, scroll up, BUY the book, and READ it this evening. Within a week, your workplace will have sped up, and calmed down. You will be in charge of your bottleneck, not the other way around.
