C. Northcote Parkinson's Parkinson's Law by Richard Gough
The Pursuit of Progress
An accessible, modern interpretation of a classic satire on bureaucracy, this guide distills its key principles into practical advice for managers and professionals. It explains why work expands to fill the time available, how headcount and procedures balloon regardless of actual workload, and why large committees tend toward inertia and poor decisions. With crisp examples and tools, it shows how to set sharper time constraints, streamline processes, design lean teams and meetings, and use deadlines and clear accountability to curb inefficiency. The result is a compact playbook for reclaiming focus, speeding execution, and preventing organizational bloat.
