We all let time slip away at work and in our personal lives in meetings, discussion, arguments and more. There are lots of books that tell us that we should use our time differently, but they don't tell us what specifically to do that makes a difference. This book helps explain the tested and proven tools used by people who create time. Not simple theories or a silver bullet, this is a complete toolbox developed over fifteen years in a laboratory experiment on real people. In the lab, teams were asked to develop great products and deliver them on time every time. What exactly the people on those global teams did to deliver their intentionally great products on time is now here for you to learn and use. In each chapter Vickie Gray brings you an example of how we suppose we should behave; what great teams in the lab did differently; the step-by-step tool they used to do it; and suggestions for how you can use that tool in your everyday work and personal life.
