The Big Idea
Business guru and author Stuart Levine simplifies the rules to time and resource management in ninety-nine or so lessons that aim to maximize time, productivity and efficiency. With most of us having a million things to do while anticipating another million things that will surely come, Cut to the Chase looks at the numerous strategies to help the busy bee prioritize tasks to get more done, to work out what really matters and strike a balance between the professional and personal life.

At the very core of Levine’s management principles is a close examination of one’s communication skills, and how clear and intelligent means of clarifying and expressing what you want can lead to surprising results. Managers who are able to “cut to the chase” and express their ideas up front are able to enjoy more time and energy doing the things that matter.
