Forget time management. Energy and attention is where it's at.
Forget time management. Energy and attention is where it's at.
A field guide for the modern manager on how to build great teams, live in the now and guard energy and attention.
About the Book
This is a book about energy and attention, not time management.
We all get the same amount of time. No more, nor less, than anyone else.
But we don't all have the same amount of energy and attention.
Some people use their energy and attention wisely, some don't.
In this book I explain why living in the now is really all we can do, how to paint a picture of who you're striving to be, setting goals but using them to form routines, and where I believe effective managers could focus their energy and attention at work.
I cover one to ones, succession planning, training, systemic improvements and more.
If you're a manager trying to manage time, this book may be helpful for you. If you're not sure where to focus your energy and attention, then I have some ideas to help.
