Ah, the 80/20 rule. One of the most talked about and, still, one of the most misunderstood and misapplied business concepts. It’s the most talked about because virtually every business book you’ve read or productivity conference you’ve attended has used it in some way or another. But more often than not, it’s dressed up to look like something else, something new. For this exact reason, it’s often misunderstood and then misapplied because, like it or not, even if you dress a wolf up in sheep’s clothing… it’s still a wolf.
