Description:
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
