Hacking Work illustrates how bypassing the “normal” route of getting something done forces you to find more innovative solutions that ultimately result in higher success. The authors acknowledge that business as we know it is broken – employees have become “slaves to our infrastructure”, subject to the rules and mandates of our corporations. It’s engrained in our culture to always follow the rules, to play by the book, to err on the side of caution.

Jensen & Klein encourage you to do exactly the opposite: Break the rules. Take a risk. Take control. In essence, hack your own work. Hacking Work highlights paradigms of the concept – stories of people who went against the rules of their own companies to get problems fixed and achieve smart, timely results. If employees like this never existed, many company issues never would have been addressed. This new standard being set is both revolutionary and necessary. Business as we know it is far too litigious – sometimes bending the rules truly does yield better and more beneficial results.

Josh Klein’s has an affinity for taking things apart and putting them back together again. This love for deconstruction and reconstruction paired with Bill Jensen’s passion for “working smarter” has allowed the two to create a book that’s intelligent and rational. Both Klein and Jensen host workshops and public speaking events. Their work – both individually and as a pair – has been hailed by peers, critics, and readers alike.

The greatest risks sometimes result in the biggest rewards….even if you break a few rules in the process. We’ve all been told “Make it work!” at some point or another. Bill Jensen and Josh Klein’s Hacking Work is a guide in finding ways to make anything work, even if it might seem impossible. By finding loopholes in the system and working around major obstacles, Hacking Work proves that success is never impossible.
