While we will learn many great concepts and principles in class, it is always helpful to learn from a different perspective. One of the best HR books on the market right now is Work Rules by Laszlo Block. Laszlo is one of the top HR leaders at Google. He will take us through similar concepts that we are covering in class but discusses how Google implements each of these practices and some of the struggles Google has had with each practice over the years. Work Rules is a great supplement to the other things we will do in class. You will learn a ton from reading it. For some, this will be your favorite part of the class.
One of the foremost goals of any class I teach is to provide you with a quiver of tools you can take into the workforce. This assignment is designed to have you not only learn about these HR concepts but to practice applying them. My hope is that by so doing when you are in your career you will retain the knowledge you gain here and be able to pull this knowledge out and apply it to the problems you face on your job.
For Each Chapter
- Pick two core concepts from Work Rules and define them.
- Identify a problem you have seen or heard about in an organization and describe it.
Pick one of the two concepts you chose in part one and explain how you would apply it to solve the - problem you identified in part two. Make sure to go deep into the logic of how this would apply and why you expect this approach to work.
- Do not use a problem and solution that you have already seen used. This often ends up with not properly applying the concept to the problem you have selected and will result in lost points. Original thinking is the point of this exercise.
For the Entire Book - Start with a short introductory paragraph.
- Write a concluding paragraph that highlights the 2-3 biggest takeaways you will take from having read this book.
