It\u0026#39;s not right that the experience of work should be so demotivating and dehumanizing.\u0026quot; So says Laszlo Bock, former head of People Operations at the company that transformed how the world interacts with knowledge.\n\nThis insight is the heart of Work Rules!, a compelling and surprisingly playful manifesto that offers lessons including:\n\n    Take away managers\u0026#39; power over employees\n    Learn from your best employees-and your worst\n    Hire only people who are smarter than you are, no matter how long it takes to find them\n    Pay unfairly (it\u0026#39;s more fair!)\n    Don\u0026#39;t trust your gut: Use data to predict and shape the future\n    Default to open-be transparent and welcome feedback\n    If you\u0026#39;re comfortable with the amount of freedom you\u0026#39;ve given your employees, you haven\u0026#39;t gone far enough.\n\nDrawing on the latest research in behavioral economics and a profound grasp of human psychology, Work Rules! also provides teaching examples from a range of industries-including lauded companies that happen to be hideous places to work and little-known companies that achieve spectacular results by valuing and listening to their employees. Bock takes us inside one of history\u0026#39;s most explosively successful businesses to reveal why Google is consistently rated one of the best places to work in the world, distilling 15 years of intensive worker R\u0026amp;D into principles that are easy to put into action, whether you\u0026#39;re a team of one or a team of thousands.\n\nWork Rules! shows how to strike a balance between creativity and structure, leading to success you can measure in quality of life as well as market share. Read it to build a better company from within rather than from above; read it to reawaken your joy in what you do.
