This book, based on The Boston Consulting Group's work with over five hundred companies in forty countries and various industries, offers six simple rules for managing complexity without adding to the complexity of the organization. By leveraging employees' intelligence and promoting autonomy and cooperation, these rules can lead to increased efficiency, innovation, and competitiveness. With detailed examples from successful companies, this book provides a much-needed tool for leaders to navigate and thrive in today's complex business landscape.
