Cover of The On-Time, On-Target Manager
This text is about how to overcome a diabolical career killer that is lurking out there every day. It's called procrastination. Our story begins with Bob, a typical middle manager, who typically puts things off until the last minute. And as a result, he misses deadlines because his lack of focus causes him to accomplish all the meaningless tasks before he gets to the important things. Bob rationalizes, justifies and tries to explain. But there is an answer. Bob learns to overcome his procrastination by developing a clear picture of where he's been, where he is now and where he's headed. As a result, he develops the ability to see how poor decisions separate him from good results. And in so doing, he commits himself to real goals, clear ideals and firm tasks that turn him from a "Last-Minute Manager" into "The On-Time, On-Target Manager".
