Synopsis

This book sets out eight key concepts linked to productivity, from motivation and goal setting to focus and decision making, and considers why some people and organisations achieve more than others. It draws on research and reporting alongside examples involving CEOs, educational reformers, four-star generals, FBI agents, aeroplane pilots and Broadway songwriters.

Across these accounts, the emphasis is on how productive individuals and groups make choices and frame decisions, from the ambitions they pursue to the cultures they build as leaders and the way they interact with data. Building on the approach used in The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg applies deep reporting and storytelling to examine how people can improve at what they do.
