This audiobook
focuses first on the strategic issues concerning your organization with regard
to its development and what tactics are most productive regarding your office
space (including home offices as well). The author points out that most
organizations just “get an office” without thinking through their requirements
for the people who will populate that office. Much management and employee
effectiveness is lost in this way; it is also a huge waste of money and
resources.
People are the
largest expense in most modern businesses that do not have factories and
warehouses. Offices are the second largest expense, and their entire purpose is
to make people more effective and productive. So, the author emphasizes
thinking first about what needs to be done, what type of offices would be most
effective for your people, and only then focusing on the office issue itself. The
author suggests that a hybrid organization may work best with a core
headquarters and satellite home offices to help individual contributors to be
most productive while enabling headquarters to avoid losing energy and
productivity though supervising employees on site. Then the author suggests
numerous tips and ideas to make your office, and home-office workers spaces,
most productive - something few other authors focus on. Simply’s Manage Your
Home Office audiobook is strongly suggested as a second work to help make
your offices more productive. A third suggestion is Business Start-up,
which discusses offices with regard to expense, cashflow, and productivity for
the emerging enterprise.
