Atlanta, Georgia Aug 26, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - Relief for the many leaders who feel “understaffed, overworked, and constantly behind” comes from Brandon Smith’s newly published bestselling book, “The Author vs. Editor Dilemma: The Leadership Secret to Unlocking Your Team, Your Time, and Your Impact.” Recovering from the whiplash of coronavirus, the Great Resignation, and new, hybrid work policies, leaders are feeling more overwhelmed than ever.
Smith, an instructor at Emory’s Goizueta Business School and co-founder of the leadership consulting firm My Leadership Foundry, explains that “despite what you may have been told, you don’t have a time management or prioritization problem – you have a seat problem.” The solution to reclaiming control of your life and winning back hours in your week is to overcome and master “The Author vs. Editor Dilemma.” Bursting with innovative ideas, practical examples, and easily implementable approaches, “The Author vs. Editor Dilemma” helps readers transform how to think about the structure and organization of daily interactions. “This idea,” Smith asserts, “will help maximize any vertical relationship, from leading your team to influencing your manager, to parenting your kids.”
Through this book, readers will be equipped with the tools to:
- Lead your team to take ownership, show initiative and display critical thinking to solve problems
- Reclaim your time so you spend more time working “on” the business rather than “in” the business
- Maximize your impact by learning the art of “clienteling” as you guide your supervisor’s decisions and influence your organization’s direction
Leaders will be challenged to examine which seat they currently sit in and where they need to make a change with the self-reflective questions presented at the conclusion of each chapter. By getting your team in the right seats, leaders will learn how to get them to fully take ownership and display critical thinking as they work to solve challenges rather than always leaning on you for the solution. As a result, you will find more of your time is spent on the things that only you can do given your unique role in the organization.
If you feel overwhelmed by the constant demands on your time, exhausted from handling the never-ending crises of your team, drained by the ceaseless list of changing priorities that come from your leader and you fear there may be no end in sight, this book is for you. With the illustrative examples and practical tools set forth within its pages, you’ll transform your chaotic and frenzied schedule into a focused and streamlined strategy.
Now an international bestseller in educational leadership, management science, business consulting, organizational change, and 20 other categories, “The Author vs. Editor Dilemma” is available for purchase on Amazon in paperback and Kindle format.
