Product Description

Product Description

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".

3.0 out of 5 stars Good in parts unrealistic in others, 30 Oct 2005
By A Customer
I bought this book for one reason, i am a last minute manager. Despite attempts by myself and others i have never been able to shake the habit. This book is helping.

Whereas there is a lot here i already know it is the occasional flashes of inspiration, and more importantly discomfort, moments where i am no longer reading about bob but myself, that are most useul.

Told in the recognisable parabal format, this book shows through the charicters how to change your behaviours by using guidelines which direct you to a decision rather than indecision. The key element here is that in dealing with a negative (how do i stop...) rather than the usual positive (how do i start...)the story becomes deeper as it follows the logical psychological journey that is experienced when trying to cure yourself of an illness (ie: procrastination.)

The one issue i take is that bobs company seem almost too nice. Its in the backstory and vehicle for the message, but they seem unrealistically as concerned about bob the person as they are about bob the ineffective manager.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book but very Down to Earth, 23 Jul 2009
By I. E. Lamptey "Saint IELL" (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It is one of the down to earth books on management that you can read and apply without professional intervention.It makes obvious the reason why the old style of management has lost steam. At the same time it makes the challenge of todays management role exciting. I will say that this is one of the simpliest way you can deal with managerial stress if you are able to apply this simply and basic principles.
