In the current job market, those charged with the responsibility of hiring are faced with a flood of résumés for every job opening. The challenge is not only to find someone who can do the job, but to find the best possible match.

So how do you find the candidate who is not simply working for a paycheck, but is truly invested in the work, passionate about contributing to the performance of their team, and focused on achieving the company's mission? There is a process that virtually guarantees hiring the right person every time. The secret is in systematically applying a series of objective hiring best practices to every open position.

How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness? Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck.
Allen's premise - our productivity is directly proportional to our ability to relax. Only when our minds are clear and our thoughts are organized can we achieve effective results and unleash our creative potential. He provides tips on overall organization, email management, goals and shifting priorities, and overcoming feeling overwhelmed.
Building on his Getting Things Done approach, Allen provides 52 tips on implementing his approach. Each tip is a page or two - very easy to incorporate in a daily or weekly personal development plan to improve efficiency and organization.
First gathered as three-by-five cards in a shoebox and then typed up and circulated informally over the years, these eminently nonpartisan rules have amused and enlightened presidents, business executives, chiefs of staff, foreign officials, diplomats, and members of Congress. Distilled from a career of unusual breadth and accomplishment, and organized under practical topics like hiring people, running a meeting, and dealing with the press, Rumsfeld's Rules can benefit people at every stage in their careers and in every walk of life, from aspiring politicos and industrialists to recent college graduates, teachers, and business leaders.
This seminal guide presents the author's best practices of time, task, and e-mail management, drawing from time management theories and applying these best practices in Microsoft Outlook. Anyone who finds they are overburdened by e-mail or working too late each day will benefit from this book.
