    About this ebook

    It might be a truism to repeat it again and again, but leadership is closely related to productivity and effectiveness. The one cannot exist (or coexisted ) or function without the other! 

    Whatever the leadership style may you employ to lead your life and business, whatever infrastructure or organization you have in place, you cannot be truly successful before you learn to integrate your productivity schemes in your leadership style.

    This book focuses exactly on this connection! Read it and use it to organize your life in a way to make you a better and more effective leader.

      Whatever the leadership style may you employ to lead your life and business, whatever infrastructure, systems, or organization you have in place, you cannot be truly successful before you learn to integrate your productivity schemes into your leadership style.

      A leader is someone who provides a raw model of living and a vision to empower the other people and as such, a leader should be able to focus on things that make a difference and bring a result.

      This is where productivity plays its part.
