Doing What You Want, Doing What You Need
Pretty much everyone agrees that the best plans and strategies are useless - unless people make enough time to get them done.
If you're a MANAGER, a SUPERVISOR, or an ENTREPRENEUR and you want to manage your time better – starting now - you'll get straightforward help that actually works in today's businesses.
The great Peter Drucker once said that until we can manage time, we can manage nothing else. Yet time itself is simply a measurement. Principally, it measures motion, the earth's orbit around the sun. And we all get the same twenty four hour allocation. So what do we 'manage' when we save ourselves time? Well, as one example, when you take a proper look at how every business, every organization makes people do things at least twice (instead of once) you'll see how to manage 'motion' and save more hours than you might imagine.
In fact, the '7Keys' authors have 30 years of experience helping managers at all levels, across most industries, from CEO level to first-line supervisor. And they share more of the practices that great time managers actually use to manage their time.
