Through numerous examples, efficiency expert Bill Jensen and hacker Josh Klein show why “hacking,” or working around the corporate structure, is crucial for increasing efficiency and maintaining an edge in the marketplace.
A bit too much ink is spent on getting manager buy-in to hacks, as even the authors concede that managers have a vested interest in their workplace tools. Also, this book would benefit from a more thorough explanation of how increasing complexity is flattening hierarchies and pushing critical knowledge to the periphery where the action is, and away from management. But these are minor quibbles.
Hacking Work is required reading for anyone wanting to work smarter and not harder.
