Work the System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less (Revised 3rd Edition, 2019)

Publication Date Third Edition: October 3 2011 (In July of 2018 Carpenter extensively revised the 6th printing of the 3rd Edition) Work The System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less Third Edition guides the reader in modifying his or her fundamental perception of the world moving from an inaccurate vision of barely controlled chaos to a more accurate one: that life is an orderly collection of individual linear systems each of which can be improved and perfected one at a time. The reader is guided through the process of getting this new vision and then through the specifics of applying it via Carpenters "system improvement" methodology. For start-ups or multinationals the methodology is simple believable and mechanical; not mystical or theoretical. Carpenter developed the "systems mindset" protocol in the business he purchased in 1984 and still owns today. With that company he moved from an 80-100 hour workweek to a 2 hour workweek while multiplying his income dozens of times over. He is CEO of an international business consulting firm and several other spin-off businesses as well as an international non-profit all of which are operated in the same systems mindset fashion. With a diverse background in engineering construction and business management publishing telecommunications and journalism he calls his approach a "workingmans philosophy." See workthesystem.com. Work the System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less will show the business owner how to achieve a positive macro result by looking at business and work on a micro level; by analyzing and refining the separate internal sub-systems the systems that added together comprise the whole primary system business entity. Readers will learn how to "tweak" this "system of systems" in order to maximize profits create client loyalty and develop autonomous employees. The strategies help business owners to quickly and dramatically improve performance as well as decrease the stress of being overtaxed and disorganized ultimately resulting in a substantially shorter work week and a much-improved bottom line.
