Buy The 80/20 Individual: The Nine Essentials of 80/20 Success at Work by Koch, Richard (ISBN: 9781857883107) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: 80:20 book review - Richard Koch is a very special author with great insights and writing ability. The book's themes are clear and succinct; his ideas regarding the Pareto principle are absolutely spot; on meaning you can refer back to them time and again, which is what I have done and why I have written this review. The book is to be recommended to any individual wanting to get focused on what matters. Review: Insightful! - Author Richard Koch contends that individual initiative is responsible for most progress, given that 20% of entrepreneurs or innovators are responsible for 80% of results and new ideas. Koch focuses on how to be a successful entrepreneur by working with a small team of supporters. He discusses the importance of good ideas, great colleagues, a powerful value proposition, good partners and, of course, ample capital. He suggests a trend toward a new breed of corporations based on individualism, though Bill Gates and Warren Buffett alone do not necessarily make a trend. While Koch writes in a breezy, engaging style, the 80/20 mantra becomes generalized and repetitious. It's a popular expression, but does it always apply? The other chapters are more solid, though they restate known entrepreneurial principles and techniques, dressed in 80/20 lingo. As such, we suggest, they may be a good introduction for the new entrepreneur, if not for the rugged individual who has already mastered the percentages.
