Book offers tips on meeting work deadlines
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
A new book, "Deadline Busting: How to be a Star Performer in Your Organization," offers tips on how to plan effectively and meet deadlines at work in order to alleviate the stress missed deadlines can cause on the job and at home.
Nothing creates more stress than missing deadlines.
Failure to meet them is a major source of anxiety at work, which in turn can create problems at home.
Now there's a way to deal with them.
A professor of management and human resources at The Ohio State University's Fisher College of Business, Jeffrey Ford, and his wife, management consultant Laurie Ford, prescribe winning techniques for meeting deadlines in their new book, "Deadline Busting."
Debunking all the popular excuses, the book offers 85 tips on how to stay ahead of deadlines.
"Missed deadlines are a pervasive complaint in organizations," said Ford.
"Most people really do care that they are not getting assignments done.
It bothers them when they owe somebody, but they don't see what they can do about it.
This creates a background of distress that also erodes personal life as work life becomes more stressful."
Ford noted that meeting deadlines can also have positive financial effects, referencing The Economist magazine's recent estimate that meeting deadlines would add more than $3 billion to corporate bottom lines.
"'Deadline Busting' gives people a way to deal with the planning and the allocation-of-time challenges that create so much stress in work and in daily life," said Ford.
"Deadline Busting: How to be a Star Performer in Your Organization" is available through www.deadlinebusting.com or www.iUniverse.com.
