| Summary: | Abstract: A compilation of techniques to gain more benefits from energy expended enables the individual to analyze work patterns and life style to determine the causes of and apply the cures for failure. The first part addresses the "effectiveness plan," which emphasizes choosing the right goals and doing the right job, rather than doing just any job right. The plan exposes some widely believed myths about work, such as "the more you sweat, the more you get" and "work is not fun". The second part discusses getting organized, using time wisely, and adopting new attitudes. Part 3 looks at ways to overcome time wasters, such as procrastination, interruptions, and paperwork. The final part focuses on team work--delegation of authority, pursuing active communication, and working with, not against, people, even those who create conflict. The summing up lists 25 key questions which will reveal the need for, or effectiveness of, this self-analysis process. |
