Synopsis

Your future success as a leader depends on your ability to extract yourself from operational minutiae and make time for strategic activity.

If you’re having trouble getting out of the weeds, you don’t need a new productivity trick. You need to begin a deeper leadership journey to address four core factors – Tactics, Influence, Mindset and Environment (T.I.M.E.).

Richard Medcalf, an advisor to some of the world’s most accomplished CEOs, reveals the secrets to becoming a more strategic leader, and offers a complete set of strategies to help you elevate your focus. Learn how to:

• clarify on your most important strategic activities
• build a robust plan to quickly free up time
• win over your key stakeholders
• address the beliefs that are keeping you in busywork
• create a culture of focus across your entire team
• and much more.

Making TIME for Strategy will radically change how you think about your path to leadership impact, and give you practical tools to move you away from incremental progress and closer to breakthrough results.

Richard Medcalf has provided a wonderful kick in the rear for any of us to stop and rethink our priorities and has provided a menu of effective and easy ways to help us implement them. The better (and busier) you are, the better this book could get you to be.
~ David Allen (Author of the international bestseller, Getting Things Done, the Art of Stress-Free Productivity)

“Fast-paced and well-designed … strong, intensely readable, convincing.”
~ Kirkus Independent Book Reviews
