About this ebook
From the national bestselling author of Becoming Your Best, time management tools that help minimize distraction and maximize accomplishment.
In researching more than 1,260 managers and executives from more than 108 different organizations, Steve and Rob Shallenberger discovered that sixty-eight percent of them feel like their number one challenge is time management, yet eight percent don't have a clear process for how to prioritize their time.
Drawing on the authors’ forty years of leadership research, Do What Matters Most reveals how developing a written personal vision, identifying and setting Roles and Goals, and doing Pre-week Planning can increase productivity by at least thirty to fifty percent. For organizations, this means higher profits, happier employees, and increased innovation. For individuals, it means better physical and mental health, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of peace and balance.
You will learn how acquiring this skillset turned an “average” employee into her company's top producer, enabled a senior vice president to reignite his team and achieve record results, transformed a stressed-out manager's work and home life, and much more. By implementing these simple and easy-to-understand habits, you will learn how to lead a life by design, not by default. You'll feel the power that comes with a sense of control, direction, and purpose.
“The most impactful leadership book I’ve ever read.” —Mike Choutka, President & CEO of Hensel Phelps
“This book helped me improve my focus on what matters most by showing me how to schedule my priorities instead of prioritizing my schedule.”—Michelle Friesenhahn, Global SVP Human Resources, Ultra
