The 80/20 principle applies widely
In 1906 Pareto, an Italian, noticed 80% of the wealth in his country was in the hands of 20% of the people. Others later noted the 80:20 rule applied widely. Thus 20% of something is always responsible for 80% of the results. Twenty percent of your stock will take up 80% of your shelf space or storage; 20% of your suppliers will provide 80% of your stock; 20% of your staff will cause 80% of your headaches.
Knowing this principle can help your business. If you know the 80% part, look for the vital 20% creating this 80%. Work on the 20%. As a manager, put 80% of your time into the important 20% of your work.
