"Doing less, better is by no means doing less work. More often than not, those who embrace the notion of focus work harder because they are more passionate and emotionally connected to the vision. In the middle of the book, Bell discusses several disciplines and examples in entrepreneurship, strategy, marketing and branding that help to clear the fog of complexity. Within problem/solution scenarios, he demonstrates how people and companies succeed or fail at these practices. The final chapters address the importance of human capital, and restate the fact that business enterprises perish with rudderless leadership and morose cultures. Without strategy, survival is possible but seldom over the long haul. Corporate coherence is the critical performance component, especially for large companies. While we can expect a certain level of bureaucracy within the giants, the "keep it simple, stupid" KISS rule can still prevail, by SBU, by department, by team, by individual employee. Leaders and followers must strive for focus in everything they do. Bell concludes the book with a summary of the valuable lessons he learned in the trenches and battlefields of a 40 year business career"--
