Many leaders work with me on their productivity. It’s a fundamental for leading Self and essential to master if we are going to expand our impact. Getting stuff done, the RIGHT stuff is every leader’s challenge. In today’s workplaces, our biology is not equipped to thrive in conditions where our survival is mostly assured. So we’ve got to hack ourselves and make use of resources to counter our biological equipment. Stay focused when we’d prefer to chase the dopamine thrill of distraction. This delightful interview with Peter Cook, one of the most inspiring leaders I know and have had the pleasure to learn from, is a great resource for being best version of yourself, and getting cool stuff done. In his book, The New Rules of Management, Pete lays out the process and principles for getting the right work implemented. The interview offers these highlights: What people get wrong with productivity Why projects are fundamental to business success and great workplace cultures How the modern resume will list projects not just workplaces as indicators of professional nous and contribution How to use projects to build habits The inner game of productivity How to build projects in to your personal life What an Ishaya monk’s vows can do for productivity and quality of life
