532: How to Create Better Plans and Make Smarter Decisions with Harry Max Read to Lead Podcast

    • Management

There’s productivity. There’s time management. And then there’s managing priorities.













We often lump managing priorities in with these other areas but, in reality, effectively managing priorities is a discipline all to itself and one that, frankly, is rarely—if ever—approached holistically.







Until now.







My guest this week is Harry Max, author of Managing Priorities: How to Create Better Plans and Make Smarter Decisions (use the code READ20 for 20% off at this link).







Managing Priorities is your guide to prioritizing anything—anytime and anywhere.







Harry digs into the best practices for prioritization at Apple, DreamWorks, NASA, Adobe, Google, Microsoft, and beyond, and brings them together in a single, practical method that you can apply step by step.







Every business person who is even remotely interested in prioritization should read this book.







Whatever you need to prioritize—tasks, goals, OKRs, projects—this book is for you. Specific chapters are dedicated to what needs to happen and when for individuals, teams, and whole organizations.

* The importance of identifying and prioritizing our “avoidances”







* And lots more!
