5.0 out of 5 starsThe thinking person's productivity bible.
Reviewed in Australia on 6 August 2020
This latest offering from Australia's leading expert on productivity is his best work yet (and that's saying something ... Dermot's work as already had a profound impact on me and my team, and transformed how we work and how we work together). If you want to do more deep work, more meaningful work and have an impact, the key is taming urgency. As you'll learn, we don't want to eradicate urgency (as if we could) ... just get rid of unproductive urgency and fuel ourselves with the right kind or urgency at the right time. This book will show you how. You'll finish this book with deep clarity about what to do and energised to take action. This is the thinking person's productivity bible for the next decade.
5.0 out of 5 starsInspiring, Practical, Easy to read
Reviewed in Australia on 21 January 2021
I love a book that’s easy to read, practical to implement and leaves me feeling inspired. ‘Urgent! Strategies to control urgency, reduce stress and increase productivity’ is a book that does that.
My favourite quote - “Remember, industries are not reactive by nature. Organisations are not reactive by nature. It is individuals who cause reactivity and urgency most of the time. Reactivity is a choice we make when faced with urgency. And our choices become our actions.“
If you are feeling out of control, stop blaming the environment and start taking responsibility! Dermot’s wonderful book will show you how.
Dermot Crowley is the master of 21st Century Productivity and this is a book I give to executive teams I work with.
Thank you Dermot - your work is needed by senior leaders everywhere.
