Book description
Change the way you think about work (and life) by focusing on
results-and only results
Why Managing Sucks and How to Fix It shows how the Results-Only
Work Environment (ROWE) mindset can make you or your organization more
entrepreneurial, more connected with the broader trends in your
industry, and more willing to take smart risks. It explains how to set
clear expectations and focus on the endpoint as opposed to managing
the process that gets you there. With eyes set on getting rid of
distractions, long meetings, and unnecessary updates, this book offers
quick, everyday strategies to experience huge increases in
productivity (without adding resources) and dramatic drops in turnover.
- Authors Ressler and Thompson began their work together at Best Buy

- Reframes thinking away from counting on general availability
(Where's Bob?) to creating clear expectations (Does Bob know exactly
what's expected of him?)
- Explains how to reduce the number of meetings while increasing
their quality
- Shows how to eliminate scheduled events in order to increase
critical thinking and improve communication
ROWE is a bold, cultural transformation that permeates the attitudes
and operating style of an entire workplace, leveling the playing field
and giving people complete autonomy-to manage their measurable results
using adult common sense.
