The Power to Get Things Done

A psychologist and work coach collaborate on a "cheat sheet" of practical ways to turn good intentions into action.

Whether you run your own business or work for someone else, you've probably got a lot on your plate. Unfortunately, much of it may not be all that appetizing. Along with the portion of your work that you truly feel like doing comes a generous helping of things you'd rather not do. As consultants, Steve Levinson and Chris Cooper have seen countless clients struggle--and often fail--to do the many success-producing things they know they should do but don't feel like doing.

The Power to Get Things Done will teach readers how to consistently turn good intentions into action so that they can be as successful as possible in the work they do . . . whether or not they feel like filing tax forms and making follow-up calls. The book offers a host of practical solutions including: the correct way to think about and treat good intentions, the three key principles of following through and simple but powerful principles and strategies that will make it easy for readers to solve big problems quickly.
