Rework: Keeping Collaboration Simple

Written by Brandon Klein | Mar 9, 2010 5:36:28 PM

If given a choice between investing in someone who has read REWORK or has an MBA, I’m investing in REWORK every time. A must read for every entrepreneur.
-Mark Cuban, co-founder HDNet, owner of the Dallas Mavericks 

At Collaboration King, we rarely review books, much less directly promote them. Effective collaboration, perfect execution, beating the competition and more fun is what successful collaboration is all about. This book helps you directly achieve it. If you watch the video below (30 seconds) and have even the slightest smirk on your face, or moment of deja vu, than you should probably buy this book. REWORK by Jason Fried.

 

Two more reviews: 

"The brilliance of REWORK is that it inspires you to rethink everything you thought you knew about strategy, customers, and getting things done. Read this provocative and instructive book—and then get busy reimagining what it means to lead, compete, and succeed."
--William C. Taylor, Founding Editor of Fast Company and coauthor of MAVERICKS AT WORK

 

This book will make you uncomfortable.
Depending on what you do all day, it might make you extremely uncomfortable.
That's a very good thing, because you deserve it. We all do.
Jason and David have broken all the rules and won. Again and again they've demonstrated that the regular way isn't necessarily the right way. They just don't say it, they do it. And they do it better than just about anyone has any right to expect.
This book is short, fast, sharp and ready to make a difference. It takes no prisoners, spares no quarter, and gives you no place to hide, all at the same time.
There, my review is almost as long as the first chapter of the book. I can't imagine what possible excuse you can dream up for not buying this book for every single person you work with, right now.
Stop reading the review. Buy the book.--Seth Godin
