If “understaffed and overworked” describes you perfectly and you fear there may be no end in sight, this book is for you.

Through this book, you will be equipped with the tools to:

R

Lead your team

to take ownership, show initiative and display critical thinking to solve challenges without you

R

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
