Successful self-management is similar to winning the lottery in many ways. Both are worthwhile endeavors, and many people hope to be lucky. Lottery winners often spark much discussion and speculation. However, successful self-management differs from winning the lottery—it is not as far-fetched, the probability is not as low, and it is not entirely based on luck. For you, successful self-management is an achievable goal, something entirely possible. Once you achieve this goal, you'll find it easy to maintain, making it sustainable. Achieving this goal is not just about earning a lot of money; it also makes your clients happy, motivates those you work with, and helps your career development. The purpose of this book is to provide clear and actionable advice and guidance to help you improve the operational performance of your teams, departments, or business areas.
