The Effective Way to Lighten Your Workload
Every decade, one best-selling business management allegory comes along. The 1980s had The One Minute Manager, the 1990s, Who Moved My Cheese?, the 2000s has If You Want It Done Right, You Don’t Have to Do It Yourself!
The delightful, short business management allegories Who Moved My Cheese and The One Minute Manager seem to have reached the working public’s collective consciousness by embracing a degree of ambiguity which allows the reader to read into the tale his own situation. But it is exactly this ambiguity that stops the reader from applying the information gleaned from these books to whatever it is that he is doing the very next day.
With If You Want It Done Right, You Don’t Have to Do It Yourself: The Power of Effective Delegation, Donna M. Genett, Ph.D. combines an engaging business management allegory with a full measure of step-by-step practicality that allows the reader to immediately put what he has learned from the story to work, improving his life both on the job and at home.
In this quick to read business management allegory, Genett uses an entertaining narrative about identical cousins, James and Jones, to introduce her successful six-step program for effective delegation. Whether you are the one delegating or the one being delegated to, implementing these six steps is guaranteed to lighten your workload, relieve your stress, and give you more time to focus on what’s really important—on and off the job.
Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager says of If You Want It Done Right, You Don’t Have to Do It Yourself: "The most common management style is seagull management. A manager gives you a task, disappears, and then only returns when you make a mistake—they fly in, make a lot of noise, dump on you, and then fly out. If you read Donna Genett’s book on delegating, these ineffective flights will not be necessary."
Donna M. Genett is a licensed psychologist who has spent the past 15 years coaching business executives at major corporations including Boeing, Weyerhaeuser, Nextel, and Seattle’s Best Coffee. If You Want Something Done Right, You Don’t Have to Do It Yourself!, is available from bookstores, online bookstores, by calling 1-800-497-4909, or at QuillDriverBooks.com
