We all would like to know the secret of being able to leverage the power of urgency, avoid burnout and increase performance.
What is the best way to find the right balance where we can use urgency as a meaningful tool to keep productivity up and without generating burnout? Turn for answers to Crowley, one of Australia’s foremost thought-leaders on productivity, who has a highly inspiring yet practical approach to output in the modern workplace.
This is a guide that uses urgency for good to help achieve your goals, to drive success, minimise stress for yourself, your teams and your business.
The founder of Adapt Productivity has a passion for creating real behavioural change, and has developed a system for working productively that is applicable to anyone working in today’s busy, email-driven workplace.
In our age of fast-paced technology, it’s easy to swing between extremes, working reactively one minute, and being inactive the next. The middle ground, described in this book, allows us to work in the ‘Active Zone’ where we maximise proactivity and productivity.
By following the practical strategies outlined in this book, be among the first to understand urgency, become proactive rather than reactive and lead teams to their fullest potential.
Eliminate stress and burnout, learn how to dial urgency up or down, keep teams working in the optimal productive zone and stay focused on what’s important and learn prioritisation skills.
With a vision to help management and staff, Urgent! shows a new way of thinking, leading and responding. Learn the skills to reduce overload, get more done, and achieve better performance each day.
