The Obvious: All You Need to Know in Business. Period. Book

Whether you are the boss or the employee, the key to success is obvious. The Obvious is a no nonsense book that gives common sense answers to the difficult questions about business success. In fact, this text is so saturated in realistic reasonable advice that the majority of people will find this information truly enlightening.

For the majority of people, work has become a quest for more money and less actual work. Most of us hardly even try to veil this desire. If we could earn grotesque amounts of money for sitting on our butts thinking about work we'd all be thrilled.

Unfortunately, here comes one of the first big obvious truths. In order to make money you actually have to work at it. You can't sit and think about it. You can't talk about it at a meeting. You have to actually do something.

Not only do you have to take action to work but you have to actually have a point to that act. Don't just create a complicated mess of extravagant exploits so that others will see how great you are and pat you on the back. No one is going to notice anyway because they are too worried about their own problems. Instead, work smart, put your all into your efforts, tell the truth, and think like a team member. The results will come in time.

The Obvious was refreshing. The author stated the plain facts without apology or any sort of gooey sugar coating. The result is a workable guide for real employees and their employers.
