A road-tested formula for improving your professional performance,
from one of the business world's most successful and productive
executives - with practical suggestions and takeaways in every
chapter. Discover the secrets to professional productivity and high
performance. Extreme Productivity is for anyone feeling overwhelmed
by their existing workload-facing myriad competing demands and
multiple time-sensitive projects. Offering antidotes to a calendar
full of boring meetings and a backlog of e-mails, Robert Pozen
explains how to determine your highest priorities and match them
with how you actually spend your time. Pozen demonstrates that in
order to be truly productive, professionals must make a critical
shift in their mind-set: from hours worked to results produced. In
a knowledge-based economy, what's important is what you've
accomplished, not how many hours you've logged at your desk. Pozen
teaches you how to efficiently complete your large projects and
quickly move through the small stuff. He shows you how to delegate
functions and manage your boss. He helps people at all stages of
their careers read, write, and make presentations more effectively.
He provides professionals with practical tips on how to efficiently
use their time-while leading full and productive personal lives as
well.

while working outside the office some or all of the time: people
who function like a "business of one." That's how productivity
experts Robert C. Pozen and Alexandra Samuel describe the mindset
that lets people thrive when they're working remotely, whether
full-time or in combination with time at the office. You can follow
their lead by embracing the work habits and independence of a small
business owner-while also tapping into the benefits of collegiality
and online collaboration.
Two top economists outline distinctive approaches to post-crisis
financial reform. Over the last few years, the financial sector has
experienced its worst crisis since the 1930s. The collapse of major
firms, the decline in asset values, the interruption of credit
flows, the loss of confidence in firms and credit market
instruments, the intervention by governments and central banks: all
were extraordinary in scale and scope. In this book, leading
economists Randall Kroszner and Robert Shiller discuss what the
United States should do to prevent another such financial meltdown.
Their discussion goes beyond the nuts and bolts of legislative and
regulatory fixes to consider fundamental changes in our financial
arrangements. Kroszner and Shiller offer two distinctive approaches
to financial reform, with Kroszner providing a systematic analysis
of regulatory gaps and Shiller addressing the broader concerns of
democratizing and humanizing finance. After brief discussions by
four commentators (Benjamin M. Friedman, George G. Kaufman, Robert
C. Pozen, and Hal S. Scott), Kroszner and Shiller each offer a
response to the other's proposals, creating a fruitful dialogue
between two major figures in the field.
