| Publisher Description: Life is more like a marathon than a sprint. Here's how to stay well conditioned. Bill Butterworth will make you laugh-and learn while you're doing it In the opening chapter of this powerful little book, Bill shares with you how, while running his rotund body in a nightmarish 440-yard dash, he learned a great lesson: Life is much more like a marathon than a sprint. The attitudes and actions that result in steady success over the long haul are what make for long-term satisfaction and achievement. To experience this for yourself, you need to understand how to deal with life's inevitable challenges: -The "Hazies"-losing sight of long-term goals -The "Lazies"-lacking the self-discipline to bring life back into focus -The "Crazies"-allowing life to run out of control Each of these can be conquered by three "clarifying triangles: " setting clear priorities, learning the discipline of endurance, and reaching the finish line through skillful pacing. It all adds up to a succinct and inspiring guide to balancing excellence at work with fulfillment in all of life. Also look for the On-the-Fly-Guide to Building Successful Teams |
