Description

"This is like TiVo for your work." -BusinessWeek In a results-only workplace, employees can do whatever they want whenever they want, as long as the work gets done. No more pointless meetings, racing to get in at 9-00, or begging for permission to watch your kid play soccer. You make the decisions about what you do and where you do it.

They show how a Results-Only Work Environment not only makes employees happier, but also delivers better results. Filled with passion and common sense, their book will change the way you think about your job, your company, and your quality of life.
