These  things are killing us. Frustrating? Hell, yes.  But take heart.  Today's top performers are taking matters into their own hands:  bypassing sacred structures, using forbidden tools, and ignoring silly  corporate edicts. In other words, they are hacking work to increase  their efficiency and job satisfaction.  In this groundbreaking  book, consultant Bill Jensen and hacker Josh Klein reveal how to work  smarter instead of harder. Once you learn how to hack work, you'll  accomplish more in less time. You'll cut through red tape and circumvent  stupid procedures.  Hacking Work is about making the  system work for you, so you can take control of your work load, increase  your productivity, and help your company succeed - in spite of itself.

The key to their success is recognizing that the most valuable assets in the company are the time, attention, knowledge, passion, energy, and social networks of the frontline workers. As Jensen convincingly argues, building a corporate infrastructure that gives people what they need to \"get stuff done\"-and then get out of their way-yields surprising results: greater alignment of personal and corporate goals, more satisfied employees and customers, and a competitive edge that keeps everyone moving forward together.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49802041557265,"sku":"CIN0738208043G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52145459298577,"sku":"NLS9780738208046","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0738208043.jpg?v=1751361351"},{"product_id":"what-is-your-life-s-work-book-bill-jensen-9780060766863","title":"What Is Your Life's Work?","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat Is Your Life's Work?\u003c\/em\u003e captures a most extraordinary moment in each of our lives--the time when we sit down with loved ones and attempt to answer the big question about what really matters.
