Successful self-management is a lot like winning the lottery. Both are worth pursuing, and many people hope to strike it rich, sparking much discussion and speculation. However, successful self-management differs from winning the lottery—it's not as far-fetched, the odds aren't as low, and it's not entirely about luck. For you, successful self-management is an achievable goal, something entirely within reach. Once you achieve this goal, you'll find it easy to maintain, making it sustainable. Achieving this goal isn't just about making a lot of money—it also delights your clients, energizes your team, and helps advance your career. 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, and business areas.
