Recommendation

John Adair offers a very good little handbook of leadership and management counsel, with some additional advice on setting personal and life goals. He provides little original material and freely gives credit to others for the ideas he borrows. He is clear and straightforward in his presentation, wasting no words. It would be beneficial to keep this book in a desk drawer or on a convenient bookshelf and look into it every day or two, reading a single page or even a single paragraph. getAbstract recommends thinking of it as a useful reminder of things you probably already know, but may forget to practice. As Adair advises, one way to manage your time is to use book abstracts whenever possible. And, see, you already do.

Take-Aways

  • Organization and planning are the keys to time management.
  • Stand up when people drop by your office and don't invite them to sit down — that keeps casual meetings short.
  • Only handle any piece of paper once. Make a decision on what to do with it and do it.
