Advantages: Challenging manifesto for a time revolution Disadvantages: Occasionally stretches the principle too far
supercharged through judicious daily application of this principle. Basically, resources that have powerful effects should be used as much as possible. In Koch?s words, ?the few things that work fantastically well should be identified, cultivated, nurtured and multiplied?.
Richard Koch is a highly successful businessman who made a fortune with Filofax in the Eighties and has gone on to build up chains of hotels, restaurants and online enterprises. This track record lends huge credibility to this book which cannot be dismissed as ?just another? self-help book. In one amusing anecdote, Koch explains how he achieved a first class degree from Oxford purely by focusing on the essentials and developing profound knowledge about just a few key areas.
