具體描述
In this timely manifesto, the authors of the New York Times bestseller Rework broadly reject the prevailing notion that long hours, aggressive hustle, and "whatever it takes" are required to run a successful business today.
In Rework, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson introduced a new path to working effectively. Now, they build on their message with a bold, iconoclastic strategy for creating the ideal company culture—what they call "the calm company." Their approach directly attack the chaos, anxiety, and stress that plagues millions of workplaces and hampers billions of workers every day.
Long hours, an excessive workload, and a lack of sleep have become a badge of honor for modern professionals. But it should be a mark of stupidity, the authors argue. Sadly, this isn’t just a problem for large organizations—individuals, contractors, and solopreneurs are burning themselves out the same way. The answer to better productivity isn’t more hours—it’s less waste and fewer things that induce distraction and persistent stress.
It’s time to stop celebrating Crazy, and start celebrating Calm, Fried and Hansson assert.
Fried and Hansson have the proof to back up their argument. "Calm" has been the cornerstone of their company’s culture since Basecamp began twenty years ago. Destined to become the management guide for the next generation, It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work is a practical and inspiring distillation of their insights and experiences. It isn’t a book telling you what to do. It’s a book showing you what they’ve done—and how any manager or executive no matter the industry or size of the company, can do it too.
用戶評價
##一種具有世界觀的公司文化。
##提高效率的方法不是瘋狂加班，這隻會導緻工作分心和更多的壓力。疲憊的員工難以保證高效，睡眠不足的中層管理者也會變得格外暴躁。
##作者創立軟件公司也寫書，雞湯味重，實例不多，但讀完確實能讓人舒一口氣。他們公司福利太好，想給自己安排上。基本觀點是，你不必做大做強、改變世界，不要跟彆人比較，不做工作狂，不用事事完美，做到舒適自給就好瞭。其他點：隻設短期目標，船小好調頭；用寫日誌（給大傢思考時間）來取代開會（得到即時反饋）；保護員工的時間和精力；隻在Office hours答疑；不要老查看郵件群組害怕錯過什麼；辦公室應像個圖書館般安靜；有不認同的做法立即說齣來，不要等它變成常規；按照你能工作幾十年那樣設計你的工作方式；初始探索完成後就去做完，不要中途又想新點子；老闆不要提想當然的小建議來分散員工精力；工作劃分到最多三個人的團隊來做；統一定價可不被大客戶綁架；麵對客戶投訴，這沒什麼和這太糟瞭，你選個立場，客戶就會選另一個。
##不要用戰術上的勤奮來掩蓋戰略上的懶惰
##不是雞湯文 有些想法💡比較新穎可以藉鑒 不過不確定是不是隻適用於小公司 現在越來越覺得大公司難管 公司的growth確實是個大學問 人多瞭personality多瞭必然politics就多瞭 書裏有一章還refer到瞭大姐夫的disagree an的commit 看來亞麻的LP影響很廣啊
##大部分認同。工作是靠用心而不是用力。不過我雖然不怎麼加班但是上下班路上，洗澡，遊泳經常都在思考工作的事情，其實也挺纍的。
##現在看章節標題和長度就能大概知道是 basecamp 又齣書瞭 😏 從號召人們從OT中解放齣來的角度切入，重申瞭一些在 rework 和 remote 裏聲明過的觀點
##寫的那麼好的招聘宣傳貼，不招人可惜瞭啊（
