We live in a world of dramatic, tumultuous, and unpredictable change—change that is wiping out time-honored businesses and long-standing institutions and ushering in unprecedented opportunities for creative individuals and entrepreneurial organizations. So pervasive is change today that it has redefined our first task: The job is no longer figuring out how to win at the game of work and life; the job is figuring out the new rules of the game.
-Rules of Thumb, Alan M. Webber (co-founder of Fast Company)
Rules of Thumb, featuring 52 "rules,"is a guide for individuals in every walk of life who want to make sense out of these confusing, challenging, and compelling times. The book is practical, philosophical, and fun. And, it is ever so wise. Here is a sampling of a few of the new rules we should all be getting familiar with:
#10 A good question beats a good answer.
#14 You don't know if you don't go.
#16 Facts are facts; Stories are how we learn.
#26 The soft stuff is the hard stuff.
#29 Words matter.
#45 Failure isn't failing. Failure is failing to try.
#50 On the way up, pay attention to your strengths; They'll be your weaknesses on the way down.
#52 Stay Alert! There are teachers everywhere.
