Good Morning Folks,

In today's short video, Harvard Business School Professor Bob Pozen discusses secrets to workplace productivity and high performance from his recently published book "Extreme Productivity."

Pozen reveals his secrets to workplace productivity and high performance. The antidote to a calendar full of boring meetings and a backlog of emails, his book shows professionals how they can achieve their goals by making a critical shift in mindset: from hours worked to results produced.  Pozen focuses on:

==> Three Big Ideas
  • Spending your time on your most important goals
  • Focusing on the final product as soon as possible
  • Accepting the B+ and moving on to more important tasks
==> Productivity Every Day
  • Establishing an efficient daily routine focused on your priorities
  • Transporting your productive habits from the office to the road
  • Running effective meetings and avoiding them altogether!
==> Developing Personal Skills
  • Reading effectively by knowing your purpose
  • Writing effectively by organizing your thoughts quickly
  • Speaking effectively by engaging your audience
==> Managing Up and Down
  • Getting the most out of your team by getting out of the way
  • Creating a mutually beneficial relationship with your boss
  • Productivity Throughout Your Life
==> Choosing your next job to maximize your career options
  • Embracing change, but recognizing universal constants
  • Maintaining balance between your work and your life
There's a difference between being productive and being effective. I try to focus on the latter.

Enjoy the Video and if it's useful, check out  Professor Pozen's book.

Have a GREAT day. Love LIFE!
