Why are some people more productive than others? As Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Charles Duhigg uncovers in his most recent book, Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business, productivity isn’t just about getting a lot done. Charles explores the ways in which productive people have built systems and habits to efficiently accomplish their goals. This conversation is the gateway to giving leaders the tools to take a hard look at their work and ask, “What do I really want to do?” and “What is the best way to do it?”
