About this listen
Working hard, but still can't keep up?
This short, insightful book will teach you how to speed up at work by slowing down, looking at your workplace slightly differently, then thinking a little.
Spoiler Alert
The world's best manufacturers have known the secret for decades: Every workplace, big or small, has one resource that is slower than the rest. It’s called the bottleneck. Find it, speed it up, and your entire workplace speeds up.
The problem is that although this secret is well known inside manufacturing, it's been hidden from the rest of us, deep inside complicated manufacturing texts and sophisticated computer algorithms. Until now, that is. Clarke Ching, author of Rolling Rocks Downhill, has spent the last 20 years adapting and simplifying manufacturing's techniques so that everyone can use them, no matter where they work.
In this book, he reveals the surprisingly simple process - called the FOCCCUS Formula - that you can use to find your bottleneck, then manage it. The book takes roughly 90 minutes to listen to, and most listeners figure out where their bottleneck is before they've finished. Listen to The Bottleneck Rules today, and you'll start running faster tomorrow.

Concise intro + Practical enough to try yourself
Concise, entertaining and thought provoking intro to ToC (Theory of Constraints) specially for someone who never (or have just) heard about it and got intrigued to know more enough without being overwhelmed.
What I liked about it even more, even though it's an intro, yet still gives you practical and actionable knowledge, enough to try it out and see significant results yourself.
This was my 2nd time listening to it (after about a year) and after reading and learning (and still learning) about ToC (Goldratt & Kelvyn Youngman), Systems Thinking (Russell Ackoff & Peter Senge), Theory of Profound Knowledge (Deming), Cybernetics, Epistemology and Antifragile Systems. It was still entertaining, informative and a reminder of some of the core concepts and first principles of the topic. Strongly recommended!
