How a Little Planning Beats a Lot of Firefighting - A How to Book - Thryft

Planning triumphs over reactive problem-solving.

You're likely familiar with the pressure of being asked to perform miracles with limited resources. Fergus O'Connell's book turns that panic into a calm strategy, showing how you can, quite literally, outplan the chaos. Its principles could transform your work life from a series of firefights into a smooth, more predictable path to success. It's a deceptively simple yet insightful guide that could make a significant difference in how you approach tasks daily.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

If you’ve ever been told that you ‘have to do more with less’ or ‘work smarter not harder’ and wondered what these things are supposed to mean, this book gives you the answer.It shows how a little planning - normally thought of as being the preserve of large undertakings, great construction projects or huge sporting events or military offensives – will indeed enable you to get more done with less effort.
