How to Succeed in Business Without Working So Damn Hard:

Rethinking the Rules, Reinventing the Game
The average work week is 60 hours and rising. These days, people are working harder than ever before: but these long hours don't necessarily translate into productivity. While individuals race to meet deadlines they aren't creating change; they are only responding to it. According to Robert Kriegel, the only way to succeed in today's business climate is to break away from old modes, myths and mindsets and re-think, re-define and re-invent the rules that govern the game. Kriegel encourages individuals to adopt new strategies that have proven to dramatically increase the performance levels of employees and companies alike. His suggestions include innovative business ideas like vertical meetings: everyone stands, guaranteeing meetings will be shorter. Kriegel challenges conventional wisdom in order to come up with dramatic new solutions to old problems. After all, this is the only way to succeed in business without working so damn hard.

If it Ain't Broke... Break It!:

And Other Unconventional Wisdom for a Changing Business World
In turbulent times Conventional Wisdom says: Play it safe; Don't mess with success; Work harder and faster; and "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

But we can no longer rely on what worked in the past. We must break out of old modes and mind sets and rethink rules, redefine rules, and reinvent the game.

Now, one of the world's leading authorities in the field of human performance challenges the conventional thinking and offers guidelines for an Unconventional Wisdom more suited for these uncertain times. This enlightening book reveals how "Break-It" Thinkers have gotten the edge by overstepping traditional boundaries and creatively paving new paths for achieving their goals and dreams.

Using examples from the author's experience with leaders ranging from the Fortune 500 to Olympic teams, this book shows you how excel in tough times by stoking fires rather than soaking them and by encouraging passion, dreams, and daring. It presents ways to increase productivity, quality, and creativity by breaking the rules and changing the game.

It tells you why avoiding risks is dangerous, and how some of the world's most successful entrepreneurs, executives, and innovators are constantly taking "safe" risks but not random chances.

It teaches you how to overcome fear so you can be more in control, think more clearly and creatively under pressure, and have more fun at work.

It puts in your hands the reality-based Victory Log and other simple, effective tools to encourage you to take more risks, blaze more trails, and become a Break-It Thinker.

To keep ahead in the nineties, Unconventional Wisdom says: Playing it safe is dangerous; Don't compete change the game; Try easy. And... If it ain't broke... BREAK IT!
