SO YOU THINK YOU CAN WORK?

Most of us have never been taught how to work.

A very bold statement to start with …

However this is one of the most important reasons for lack of execution and lower-than-expected performance. Most of us are committed to our role and want to do a good job. We are neither lazy nor unwilling. But we are not always working efficiently; we are working hard but not always smart.

Quite often we believe that to increase our performance, our revenue or our profits, we need to do more. We believe we must work longer hours, make more phone calls and attend more meetings. And in our busy working life, doing more is either almost impossible or carries a high price. We spend less time with our loved ones, we neglect our health, we put some of our passions and hobbies on the back burner and we end up frustrated, feeling out of control and stressed.

Disorganised work environments, unread emails, missed deadlines and feeling overwhelmed and stressed are real pressures for many people in their working days. Most of us spend important parts of our day on low-value activities, failing to deliver high performance. This greatly impacts on our ability to perform, on the performance of our people and on the performance of our company.

This book is not about having a tidy desk and a clean inbox. It is much more than that.

Cyril Peupion’s main focus is to improve companies’ performances and change people’s lives by challenging their work habits. Cyril will challenge your way of thinking about performance and give you simple and practical tools to be more effective, to focus on the right things. You will learn how to become a proactive leader rather than just being a reactive follower.
