Doing the Right Things Right - How the Effective Executive Spends Time

Laura Stack

Summary

A How-To Guide for the Modern LeaderInspired by Peter Drucker's groundbreaking book The Effective Executive, Laura Stack details precisely how 21st-century leaders and managers can obtain profitable, productive results by managing the intersection of two critical values: effectiveness and efficiency.Effectiveness, Stack says, is identifying and achieving the best objectives for your organization—doing the right things. Efficiency is accomplishing them with the least amount of time, effort, and cost—doing things right. If you're not clear on both, you're wasting your time. As Drucker put it, “There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.” Stack's 3T Leadership offers twelve practices that will enable executives to be effective and efficient, grouped into three areas where leaders spend their time: Strategic Thinking, Teamwork, and Tactics. With her expert advice, you'll get scores of new ideas on how you, your team, and your organization can boost productivity.

Persuasion - Stealth Psychology...

Shevron Hirsch

This book consists of two titles, which are the following: 
  
Book 1: Persuasion can be used for good and evil. Some people know exactly what moves others to act a certain way, and they know how to guide them in certain directions. 
  
But the knowledge of how to do this, does not have to be limited to a select few. It simply requires someone like you to take initiative and to read or listen to a book like this. In this book, a variety of topics will be covered, including but not limited to: the true meaning of persuasion, tips to persuade others faster and more effectively, persuasion as an art, the neuroscience behind decision-making moments, and problems that arise when people are too persuasive (if there is such a thing). 
  
  
  
  
Book 2: When you are trying to convince someone else to do something, it’s often important that you know how to use persuasion techniques. This could be different in all kinds of situations. For example, if you want to persuade your partner to perform a romantic or kind act, it will different than negotiating the price of a contract. 
  
In this book, several subtopics in relation to persuasion are going to be addressed, such as persuasion tactics in marriage, in business, in meetings, in convincing the masses, and stealth persuasion techniques. Aside from this, many thoughts will be expressed and ideas given to help you understand these essentials.
