Greg McKeown Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

The intricacy of modern life has created a false dichotomy between things that are 'hard and important,' and those that are 'easy and trivial.' Everything has become so much harder than it ought to be. But, Greg McKeown says there is a third alternative. In Effortless , he offers practical strategies for making the most vital tasks the easiest ones. Honed over the better part of a decade, these strategies include- Asking 'What Step Can I Remove?' (accomplish more, in fewer steps) ; Having the Courage to Be Rubbish (prioritize progress over perfection) ; Deciding What 'Done' Looks Like (don't keep running after you pass the finish line). McKeown's philosophy of essentialism has helped thousands to eliminate nonessential activities and focus on the few that really matter. Working out what is essential is the first step - making these tasks effortless is the next. Effortless will show you how.

Are you a genius or a genius maker? Leaders can be dramatically different in their impact on those around them. Some drain intelligence, energy, and capability, always needing to be the smartest in the room. These diminishers kill ideas and sap energy. In contrast, there are leaders who amplify the intelligence and capabilities of others. When they enter a room, creativity sparks, ideas flow, and problems get solved. These inspiring leaders, known as Multipliers, motivate employees to exceed expectations. The need for such leaders is critical, especially as organizations strive to achieve more with fewer resources. This engaging and practical book by leadership expert Liz Wiseman and management consultant Greg McKeown delves into the two leadership styles, illustrating how Multipliers can positively impact organizations by enhancing productivity, attracting talent, and fostering innovation. Through analysis of data from over 150 leaders, they identify five disciplines that set Multipliers apart from Diminishers. These disciplines are skills anyone can learn, including those who have always been Diminishers. With lively case studies and practical techniques, the book demonstrates how to become a Multiplier, unlocking the potential of the energy and intelligence around you.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than one million copies sold! Essentialism isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done. “A timely, essential read for anyone who feels overcommitted, overloaded, or overworked.”—Adam Grant Have you ever: • found yourself stretched too thin? • simultaneously felt overworked and underutilized? • felt busy but not productive? • felt like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people’s agendas? If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist. Essentialism is more than a time-management strategy or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter. By forcing us to apply more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy—instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing—it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.
