4. Rework. бизнес без предрассудков
Change the Way You Work Forever
Текст ломает устоявшиеся бизнес-мифы и предлагает практичный подход: меньше бессмысленных планов и совещаний, больше быстрых запусков и итераций; использовать ограничения как преимущество, фокусироваться на простоте продукта и реальной ценности для клиента; строить небольшие эффективные команды, нанимать выборочно и избегать роста ради роста; учиться на практике, говорить «нет» лишним идеям и упрощать процессы для большей продуктивности и устойчивости бизнеса.
