“This book is part of the few business books that have changed my life. Even though the 80/20 principles are simple, implementing 80/20 can be challenging, but Bill shares how he did it multiple times, the obstacles he faced, and how to make the changes stick.”

“Bill Canady does not treat leadership as a collection of motivational slogans. Instead, he presents a practical framework for understanding why some organizations execute well while others struggle.”
