Lead smart: how to build and lead highly productive teams

In: Smart productivity

Abstract

"Focus your time, energy and attention on the things that really matter. For many leaders, the reality is that now they have achieved career success, they have never felt so busy, so distracted, so overwhelmed, and so unable to find time for the things that truly matter in their role. Too many leaders fall victim to crushing meetings schedules, hopelessly overflowing inboxes, constant interruptions, and a sense of busyness that does not equate to effectiveness in their role.The simple truth is that leaders are often too busy to have the impact that they need to have. We need to become less busy and shift our mindset from activity to impact. We need to protect time to think, to plan, to make good decisions and to provide clear direction. We need to be responsive and available to our team, not constantly unavailable in meetings, so we can empower them to act in line with our goals. And we need time to coach and mentor our people, leveraging their skills, capacity and productivity"--Publisher's description
