"READ THIS BOOK AND USE IT." TIM FERRISS Millions of highly effective people have become more successful by understanding the simple fact that 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts. All you have to do is identify the 20 percent that leads to 80 percent. The 80/20 Principle shows you how. Richard Koch's million-copy-selling global bestseller is now completely revised and updated, and more powerful and essential than ever. He reveals how the principle works and shows how to use it in a systematic and practical way to vastly increase your effectiveness, and improve your career. The unspoken corollary to the 80/20 principle is that little of what you spend your time on actually counts. But by concentrating on those things that do, you can unlock the enormous potential of the magic 20 percent. Discover how to identify the few methods that will lead to great results, and use them alone. Avoid hard work. Don't push water uphill. Be very selective in what you do. Have a great life. 80/20 is the essential tool for anyone who wants to succeed. Be more effective with less effort by learning how to leverage the 80/20 principle.
Research has indicated that busy managers are often so busy 'putting out fires' that they feel overwhelmed and therefore find it difficult to accomplish the strategic elements of their role. They frequently end up doing things themselves (even sometimes taking over operational tasks from direct reports) because they feel it is just easier and quicker than telling or showing someone else what needs to be done. And sometimes have little confidence in the competence and ability of staff to successfully problem solve or make effective decisions. Those who receive effective coaching develop increased awareness and are more prepared to take responsibility. In the longer term this develops qualities such as self belief and confidence which actually leads to improvements in competence (in those being coached). And therefore a reduction in stress for the coaching manger. This book provides practical ways for managers to develop the potential of those they manage by adopting a simple coaching approach.
Watching online videos, buying courses, attending conferences, or using
the latest app may give you a short-term business boost, but these
aren't the answers to unlocking extraordinary and lasting results.
Willpower isn't enough, no matter how high your ambition. Take The Consistency Pillv to transform your business and achieve the success you desire.
**The instant Sunday Times bestseller** What if you tried to stop doing everything, so you could finally get round to what counts? Rejecting the futile modern obsession with 'getting everything done,' Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing rather than denying their limitations. Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman sets out to realign our relationship with time - and in doing so, to liberate us from its tyranny. Embrace your limits. Change your life. Make your four thousand weeks count. 'Life is finite. You don't have to fit everything in... Read this book and wake up to a new way of thinking and living' Emma Gannon 'Every sentence is riven with gold' Chris Evans 'Comforting, fascinating, engaging, inspiring and useful' Marian Keyes
You have a daily to-do list consisting of several dozen items. You're always busy, but you never really feel productive. You know what you need to get done, but you can't figure out where to start. You routinely agree to help others with their tasks but can't make headway with your own work. Sound familiar? If you've ever felt (or been told) that you have a time management problem, award-winning educator PJ Caposey has a revelation to share: you probably don't. Sure, you may struggle to meet deadlines or stay on top of your myriad responsibilities as an educator, but these aren't signs that you can't manage time-they're symptoms of underlying issues you may never have noticed or thought to address. In Manage Your Time or Time Will Manage You, Caposey identifies eight root causes of ""time management difficulties"" and provides treatment in the form of advice, support, and coping techniques for teachers and leaders who are: Work Avoidant. People Pleasers. Prisoners of the Moment. Checklist Dependent. Disorganized. Technology Avoidant. Self-Servers. Perpetually Imbalanced. Time management is a complex and personal issue best addressed through deep self-reflection or caring and thoughtful coaching. This book offers a blueprint for both. It will help you better understand yourself and the behaviors of those you work with or lead, promoting more productive teaching and leadership-and greater peace of mind.
