Book Summary: The 12-Week Year

Stop focusing on your annual goals. Instead compress your focus to the next 12-weeks. Most of us are not living up to our full potential.  If we align our thinking and our actions and focus on what matters most, we could double or triple our capacity and productivity just by implementing what we already know. 

Key Lessons from The 12-Week Year

  • Consistently execute on just a few impactful tasks.
  • Create a sense of urgency around the activities that matter most and eliminate low value activity.
  • Effective execution happens daily and weekly.
