Summary Of The Book The Rules Of Work starts off by explaining that most individuals are concerned with factors such as higher salaries, better status, bright futures, and job security. Templar states that people work extremely hard to be respected, promoted, and rewarded. He then tells the readers that this outlook often causes individuals to err. In this book, Templar gives the readers key advice into reaching the top without any compromise. Through the course of this book, Templar debunks the myth that if an individual works harder, they will be able to reach the top faster. He tells the readers that all individuals have two jobs. However, they are only aware of one, which is the job at hand. This involves an individual meeting project deadlines, decreasing machine downtime, meeting sales targets, and the like. However, if an individual can deal with an organization’s problems, not just a small part, they will be able to experience favor with their employers. This book primarily targets the individual manager and assists those who desire to make their way to the top, but are unaware of how to do so. The Rules Of Work will also prove beneficial to the organization at large. Templar uses his personal experiences to explain his proposition. He recounts the time he and his co-worker were contenders for the manager’s post.
