How do seemingly ordinary individuals achieve extraordinary results? This groundbreaking exploration delves into the ingredients for unreasonable success and how they can be attained. The author identifies nine key attitudes and strategies that can elevate anyone's accomplishments. Success is described as a fractal pattern—endlessly varied yet fundamentally similar. It doesn’t rely on genius, consistency, or all-round ability; many featured in this work have made significant impacts without these traits. For instance, who would have predicted that Nelson Mandela, a once-obscure lawyer, could reconcile diverse groups in South Africa and establish democracy? Or that Helena Rubinstein, from a humble background in Krakow, would revolutionize global beauty standards? Even Leonardo, the illegitimate son of a notary, became one of history's greatest painters. Successful individuals often do not plan their achievements; instead, they cultivate unique philosophies and stumble upon effective strategies that serve as shortcuts to success. They seize unexpected opportunities while peers with equal or greater talent may falter. This exploration challenges the notion of success as merely a product of innate genius, inviting readers on a journey toward an unreasonably successful future.

"In this fascinating sequel to the bestselling The 80/20 Principle, Koch explores the sciences to reveal the powerful patterns and universal principles that can be successfully applied to business today: The Power Laws"

In this essential companion to his bestselling The 80/20 Principle - the radical power law that helped thousands of people achieve more by doing less - Koch illuminates 92 other universal principles and laws to promote the science of success in an increasingly challenging business environment.

"For the past forty years, Richard Koch has worked to uncover simple and elegant principles which govern business success. To qualify, a principle must be so overwhelmingly powerful that anyone can reliably apply it to generate extraordinary results. Working with venture capitalist Greg Lockwood and supported by specially commissioned research from OC & C Strategy Consultants, Koch has now found one elemental principle that unites extraordinarily valuable companies: simplifying. Some firms simplify on price - consider budget flights stripped of all extras that still take you from A to B - creating new, huge mass markets for their wares. Others, such as Apple, simplify their proposition, bringing a beautifully easy-to-use product or service to a large premium market. How can your business become a simplifier? With case studies of some of the most famous firms of the last hundred years, from finance to fast food, this enlightening book shows how to analyse any company's potential to simplify, and enrich the world."--Provided by publisher.

One hundred years ago, most Westerners felt tremendous pride and confidence in their civilisation. They knew what it stood for, and they believed in it. Today that sense has gone. That is largely because the six principal ideas which underpinned Western confidence - those of Christianity, optimism, science, economic growth, liberalism and individualism - have suffered a century of sustained attack. These ideas no longer inspire or unite the West as they once did.The contributors to Suicide of the West believe that, in theory, a more sophisticated synthesis of the six ideas could provide a way for the West to recover its nerve and integrity. But in practice? This fascinating book seeks to find the answer.

Jak dosáhnout co nejlepších výsledků s nejmenším úsilím

Téměř všechny velké příběhy úspěšných firem dvacátého i současného století jsou příběhy zjednodušování. Podnikatelé, kteří dokázali změnit nejen tvář byznysu, ale i způsob, jak pracujeme a žijeme, byli v drtivé většině především velkými zjednodušovateli.

Pravidlo 80/20 říká, že 80 procent všech výsledků vzniká z 20 procent příčin (např. to znamená, že 20 procent výrobků přináší 80 procent zisku nebo že 20 procent zákazníků vytváří 80 procent tržeb, ale i že 20 procent řidičů způsobí 80 procent dopravních nehod). Aktualizované vydání dnes již klasického bestselleru, který byl přeložen do 30 jazyků, na praktických příkladech ukazuje, jak dosáhnout lepších výsledků s menším vynaložením úsilí, času a dalších zdrojů tím, že se soustředíme na těch důležitých 20 %, která přinášejí 80 % výsledků, a jak tohoto principu systematicky využívat nejen v podnikání a managementu, ale i v osobním životě.
