Summary:
"From the coauthor of Great by Choice comes an authoritative, practical guide to individual performance. Why do some people perform better at work than others? This deceptively simple question continues to confound professionals in all sectors of the workforce. After a five-year study of more than 5,000 managers and employees, Morten Hansen reveals the Seven Work Smarter Practices that can be applied by anyone looking to maximize their time and performance. Each practice is highlighted by inspiring stories from individuals in his comprehensive study. You'll meet a high school principal who engineered a dramatic turnaround of his failing high school; a rural Indian farmer determined to establish a better way of life for women in his village; and a sushi chef, whose simple preparation has led to his restaurant (tucked away under a Tokyo subway station underpass) being awarded the maximum of three Michelin stars. How the way Alfred Hitchcock filmed Psycho and the 1911 race to become the first explorer to reach the South Pole both illustrate the use of these seven practices (even before they were identified). Each chapter contains questions and key insights to allow you to assess your own performance and figure out your work strengths, as well as your weaknesses. Once you understand your individual style, there are mini-quizzes, questionnaires, and clear tips to assist you focus on a strategy to become a more productive worker. Achieve more by working less! Morten Hansen is a management professor at the University of California"--Provided by publisher.
