Review:
As more of us come to understand the hefty personal price that often accompanies major professional success, fewer of us are willing to blindly sacrifice so much in order to attain it. How to Succeed in Business Without Working So Damn Hard is a combination pep talk and handbook for those facing this increasingly common dilemma, offering practical advice for sharpening our on-the-job performance so we can work more effectively and thus make more time for our outside lives. Robert J. Kriegel, an athletic coach, radio commentator, and coauthor of four previous personal and organizational behavior books including If It Ain't Broke... Break It!, mixes anecdotes from all manner of sources with insight from his own experiences to create this inspirational and easy-to-read guide. Quoting from a disparate collection of practitioners of the "less is more" philosophy ranging from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and martial artist extraordinaire Bruce Lee to Monty Python alum John Cleese and retail pioneer John Wanamaker, he proposes precise strategies for reducing interference inflicted by notorious corporate time wasters like e-mail, meetings, and memos, along with specific approaches for injecting creativity--and boosting productivity accordingly--in common business situations. --Howard Rothman

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The average working week in the US is 60 hours and rising. These days, people are working harder than ever before. But these long hours don't necessarily translate into productivity. While individuals race to meet deadlines, they aren't creating change; they are responding to it. According to Robert Kriegel, the only way to succeed in today's business climate is to break away from old modes, myths and mindsets and rethink, redefine and reinvent the rules that govern the game. He encourages individuals to adopt new strategies that have proven to increase dramatically the performance levels of employees and companies alike. His suggestions include innovative business ideas like vertical meetings, where everyone stands, guaranteeing they will be shorter (where do you think Easyjet's Stelios got the idea). Kriegel challenges conventional wisdom in order to come up with dramatic new solutions to old problems. After all, that's the only way to succeed in business without working so damn hard. The author of this title, an authority in the field of change and human performance, offers strategies for increasing productivity and performance in the workplace. This item is printed on demand.
