Synopsis

Ken Blanchard's phenomenal bestsellers, such as The One Minute Manager® and Raving Fans®, have made him a globally recognized business legend. Now, he has joined with noted business author Steve Gottry to explore one of the most common and insidious problems plaguing the workplace -- procrastination.The On-Time, On-Target Manager tells the highly recognizable story of Bob, a middle manager who tends to put things off to the last minute. He misses deadlines, rationalizes, justifies, and tries to explain. Luckily, Bob is sent to his company's CEO -- a new kind of CEO -- the ""Chief Effectiveness Officer"" -- who helps him deal with the three negative side effects of procrastination: lateness, poor work quality, and stress to himself and others. Bob learns how to overcome procrastination, and transforms himself into a productive On-Time, On-Target Manager through the Three P strategy.With this engaging parable, Blanchard and Gottry tackle the problem of procrastination head-on, offering practical strategies any professional can immediately put into practice to improve his or her performance.

6/21/19: Listening to audio books has caused me to be much more open to the world of nonfiction books.

Goodreads review by ARC

I really expected much more from this book. It was a tad too simple and did not offer enough depth or something really unique or refreshing for me at least; probably unless you are really like the "last-minute" manager. Nonetheless, it was a quick 2-hr read through and compared with all the other Ke......more

Goodreads review by Jeremy

The information is solid and applicable in many situations. The format of the book is absolutely painful for me. I don't enjoy fiction and certainly bad fiction when the real goal is instructional non-fiction. I wish they would have presented this as a more traditional book and included stories rath......more

This way demonstrates how Bob goes through the transition of the just......more
