Synopsis

Shortlisted in the business book category of WHSmith’s Book Awards 2002.

"For a change this guide tears down management as a complex science, reducing it to life saving basics. This book does a good job - it may just help to simplify your working life."                     Evening Standard, London "Simply Brilliant is brilliantly simple... offers salvation"Financial Times. Question:  In keeping your in-tray to manageable proportions, which of the following is the best strategy?

1. Clear it every day.
2. Let it pile up – the important things will always float to the surface somehow. Once a month throw it all in the bin.
3. Go through it every day, deal only with those things that align with your priorities, once a month throw it all in the bin.
4. Go through it every day, deal only with those things that align with your priorities, once a week deal with all of the other stuff.

 So which option would you take?  Life is complicated enough. Yet many people go out of their way to create hoops to jump through, wrestling with tough problems and calling on the latest management fad to find that elusive solution to a problem. But it doesn't have to be that way. The best ideas aren't always complicated.  The world is full of smart, experienced, skilled, brilliant people. However, many people – even smart ones – are lacking a set of essential skills that when pulled together can be termed "common sense". Simply Brilliant features a set of seven principles to make the bright better. Principles of common sense that can be adapted for attacking many of the problems that you encounter every day, be it in work or outside.   Sometimes the smart need the simple to be truly brilliant

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

 "This is simple stuff, simply written. But don't underestimate Simply Brilliant's value -much of this stuff is forgotten in the rush of everyday business"     Amazon.co.uk "For a change this guide tears down management as a complex science, reducing it to life saving basics. This book does a good job - it may just help to simplify your working life."                                                                       The Evening Standard "Just when we feel we can no longer cope with it all, someone writes a book that offers salvation ..... Simply Brilliant is brilliantly simple - so much so that I may start coming to work again to get things done."                                     Financial Times  "Simply Brilliant could make a difference to huge numbers of managers who have lost touch with the small but important rules that make for harmonious business relationships.... O'Connell's ideas for creating a better working environment are as simple as he claims and will provide welcome relief for anyone who is struggling to come to terms with the latest fad from the Harvard Business School... He extols the virtues of simplicity in thinking, warns what happens when people are not sure what they are supposed to do, shows that to do anything there needs to be a sequence of events, and explains that things won't be done if people don't do them (obvious, but an amazingly common problem)."The Sunday Times - Book of the Week
