You work hard. You put in the hours. Yet you feel like you are constantly treading water with "Good Work" that keeps you going but never quite moves you ahead. Or worse, you are mired in "Bad Work"―endless meetings and energy-draining bureaucratic traps. Do More Great Work gets to the heart of the problem: Even the best performers are spending less than a fraction of their time doing "Great Work"―the kind of innovative work that pushes us forward, stretches our creativity, and truly satisfies us. Michael Bungay Stanier, Canadian Coach of the Year in 2006, is a business consultant who’s found a way to move us away from bad work (and even good work), and toward more time spent doing great work. When you’re up to your eyeballs answering e-mail, returning phone calls, attending meetings and scrambling to get that project done, you can turn to this inspirational, motivating, and at times playful book for invaluable guidance. In fifteen exercises, Do More Great Work shows how you can finally do more of the work that engages and challenges you, that has a real impact, that plays to your strengths―and that matters. The exercises are "maps"―brilliantly simple visual tools that help you find, start and sustain Great Work, revealing how to: 
<ul>
<li>Find clues to your own Great Work―they’re all around you</li>
<li>Locate the sweet spot between what you want to do and what your organization wants you to do</li>
<li>Generate new ideas and possibilities quickly</li>
<li>Best manage your overwhelming workload</li>
<li>Double the likelihood that you’ll do what you want to do 
</li>
</ul>All it takes is ten minutes a day, a pencil and a willingness to change. Do More Great Work will not only help you identify what the Great Work of your life is, it will tell you how to do it.

Want more from your work? If you’re like most of us, you are struggling just to stay on top of the regular stuff that keeps flowing your way. Like digging a hole in the sand at the beach, no matter how fast you bail, it keeps filling up with water. What will make you happier in the work you do? Here’s another way to put it. There are only three types of work in your life. There’s Bad Work: the mind-numbing, soul-sapping, life-crushing work that grows like weeds. In organizations it’s bureaucracy, pointless meetings, email overwhelm … and anything that makes you think, “This is my one and precious life - what am I doing?” Then there’s Good Work: your job description, and what you spend most of your time doing. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this - except that these days this work seems to overflow filling every minute of every day. Sometimes it feels like we are just trying to avoid drowning in our own Good Work. And finally there’s Great Work: the meaningful work you’re hungry for. This is the work that matters, makes a difference and has an impact. It’s the work you actually want to tell people about. (Who boasts, “I didn’t get too far behind on my email today!”) Bottom line? You want to do more Great Work but you’re struggling to get beyond the Bad and the Good. In Do More Great Work I offer a systematic way you can find, start and sustain your Great Work. This book is different. Great Work Provocations is designed as a daily, less-than-30-seconds-to-read-message to help give your mornings a twist. Start on January 1 or any day of the year and make this perpetual calendar a daily way to provoke you to do more Great Work. Great Work Provocations was designed to wake you up, provoke you and shake you out of the Good Work rut on a daily basis. It draws from my background in the worlds of change, creativity and innovation, and from my love of a good metaphor and a powerful question. If you’ve ever wanted to get beyond the day to day and do more Great Work, this book is for you.

Being a leader requires much more than just understanding how to run a business. Today's executive is under a unique set of demands, coming from multiple stakeholders. In The Complete Executive, long-time executive coach Karen Wright introduces a unique 10-step system that takes all of these aspects of leadership development into account. Leaders not only need incredible physical energy and stamina, they need a support system, philosophy, plan, business acumen, a social network, and a brand and reputation that will ensure they achieve their vision. Backed by an assessment tool, giving each leader a personal "report card," this book provides aspiring leaders with a framework to address all aspects of leadership that translates to peak performance. Wright knows from experience that even when everything is going well for leaders, high achievers don't stop there, which is why The Complete Executive is designed as a resource to return to again and again for continuous improvement.
