Work Smarter, Reduce Your Stress, and Lead by Example

Each day we are faced with decisions – both at home and at work – that have a palpable impact on our future. Occasionally we make impulsive choices that we may deem inconsequential, but the effects of which are felt further down the line. Improving the decision-making process should be a priority for everyone – both in their professional and personal lives --  and allows for an enhanced approximation of future results: that is the goal of Steve McClatchy’s new book, DECIDE: Work Smarter, Reduce Your Stress and Lead by Example (Wiley; January 2014; Hardcover & e-book; ISBN: 978-1-118-55438-8; $23).

DECIDE aims to help the reader lead toward improvement in their business and their life by making better decisions based on the real results they want to experience,” says Steve McClatchy, celebrated time-management expert. “The book explains how to achieve balance in our lives through better decision making, rather than waiting for an employer to provide it for us.  It presents the reader with a perspective on the different ways we create the energy we need to get through each day-- including accomplishments and procrastination-- and challenges the reader to make a choice on how to get theirs.”

Readers of this insightful book will learn how to assign values to certain choices to more aptly make decisions and alleviate the stress that accompanies the fight to achieve balance. He also explores the concepts of:

•    Decision management versus time management

•    Dealing with interruptions effectively

•    Setting and achieving goals

DECIDE also helps readers grasp their priorities (or realize what they think are priorities may not be), something the author says can be done simply by looking at one’s calendar.  How many times have you told yourself you want to spend more time with your family?  How many times have you actually entered that time in your calendar?  For most, the answer is never.  What does your calendar tell you about your life that you may not already know?
