How to Succeed without Working So Damned Hard Book

As more of us come to understand the hefty personal price that often accompanies major professional success, fewer of us are willing to blindly sacrifice so much in order to attain it. How to Succeed in Business Without Working So Damn Hard is a combination pep talk and handbook for those facing this increasingly common dilemma, offering practical advice for sharpening our on-the-job performance so we can work more effectively and thus make more time for our outside lives. Robert J. Kriegel, an athletic coach, radio commentator, and coauthor of four previous personal and organizational behavior books including If It Ain't Broke... Break It!, mixes anecdotes from all manner of sources with insight from his own experiences to create this inspirational and easy-to-read guide. Quoting from a disparate collection of practitioners of the "less is more" philosophy ranging from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and martial artist extraordinaire Bruce Lee to Monty Python alum John Cleese and retail pioneer John Wanamaker, he proposes precise strategies for reducing interference inflicted by notorious corporate time wasters like e-mail, meetings, and memos, along with specific approaches for injecting creativity--and boosting productivity accordingly--in common business situations. --Howard Rothman Read More

  • Product Description

    The average workweek is 60 hours and rising. These days, it seems people are working harder than ever before. But does putting in longer hours necessarily translate into greater productivity? Robert J. Kriegel thinks not. All too often, individuals respond to a chaotic work environment by racing to meet deadlines, spinning their wheels, and missing opportunities to create positive change. Kriegel suggests that finding success in today's business world means breaking old habits and adopting new ideas that can dramatically increase performance levels, like having younger employees tutor the more senior, technology-phobic. As conventional systems are challenged, dramatic new solutions are revealed, and everyone gets ahead without working so damn hard.
