Time Well Spent: Getting Things Done Through Effective Time Management
It is possible to have an overwhelmingly busy life and job and still be productive. Organization and modification of major work habits can turn people into high-performing professionals with control over their work and life. Time Well Spent teaches readers how to be efficient and accomplish more with less effort.
The Four Conversations describes how to get maximum results from conversations that every one of us must use to get things done: initiative conversations introducing something new, understanding conversations to help people relate to ideas or processes, performance conversations requesting specific actions, and closure conversations that recognize achievements and signal completion of the work. As Jeffrey and Laurie Ford clearly demonstrate, engage in the right conversation at the right time--plan and start each one well, finish every one effectively--and extraordinary things can happen.
