En savoir plus sur le livre

From the New York Times bestselling author of Great by Choice comes an authoritative guide to individual performance, grounded in a groundbreaking five-year study of over 5,000 managers and employees. Morten Hansen explores why some individuals excel at work while others do not, presenting his 'Seven Work Smarter Practices' designed to help anyone maximize their time and performance. Each practice is illustrated with inspiring stories from his research, featuring a high school principal who transformed a failing school, a rural Indian farmer improving life for women in his village, and a sushi chef whose simple techniques earned his restaurant three Michelin stars. Hansen also draws parallels between his practices and the filmmaking of Alfred Hitchcock in Psycho, as well as the historic race to the South Pole, showcasing their relevance even before they were formally identified. Each chapter includes questions and insights for assessing personal performance, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and offers mini-quizzes and tips to develop a more productive work strategy. Extensive and user-friendly, this guide aims to help you achieve more by working less, supported by robust statistical analysis.
