Michael Lopp: A Day in the Life of a Senior Leader, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Everyone knows that senior leaders have extraordinary demands on their time. Their stamina, decisiveness, and high-wire balancing of resources, people, and priorities can seem superhuman. In this book, Michael Lopp, a senior leader at companies such as Slack, Pinterest, and Apple, brings the day-to-day reality of senior leadership back down to earth. In his engaging style, Lopp chronicles the practices and pitfalls that often define a typical senior leader's day, from the morning ritual to eleventh-hour emergencies and finding meaning and purpose outside of work.

Through short essays and longer chapters, you'll get a front-row seat to the at-times unpredictable, insufferable, and productive meetings, conversations, people, and processes that fill the hours--and practical insights on how to improve the skills you need to thrive in your role. Whether you're an acting senior leader or just aspiring to be, the essays in this book will spark recognition and reflection and help you to be more intentional about how you spend your most precious resource: your time.
