Why Can’t We Get Anything Done Around Here?

By R.E. Lefton, Ph.D., and Jerome T. Loeb

Do you feel you are working harder but getting less done?  It is ironic that while business today benefits from technological advances which compress time and allow work to be done faster, managers are frustrated more than ever that they can’t get as much accomplished as they would like.

When Jerry Loeb was President of The May Department Stores Company, he noticed this phenomenon.  He and Dr. Robert Lefton, Co-CEO of Psychological Associates, studied the problem and identified a key element: The way managers assign tasks has a profound effect on productivity.

From this observation grew a systematic method for making assignments that is simple, effective, and helps managers stay on track for getting the important work of their organizations accomplished.  The system explained in Why Can’t We Get Anything Done Around Here? has been used successfully by both large and small companies, including several Fortune 500 firms.  Plenty of cases and examples enliven the discussion to make the ideas come alive.  The book offers a tool you can use immediately to get more done.  Specifically, you’ll learn how to:

• Apply a simple technique to every assignment you make, not only about what gets done, but who is exactly the right person to do it
• Analyze the five major errors that keep managers from getting the right things done
• Manage your people at the level they would perform in a crisis — but without the crisis
• Maximize your own productivity.

As a results-oriented manager, you will find that the concepts and down-to-earth, practical information in this book are very helpful for increasing productivity.
