Overview of Kory Kogons book The 5 Choices By Steve Kolk Steve@Kolkulations.com
THE PRODUCTIVITY PARADOX The productivity paradox revolves around three critical challenges: 1) WE ARE MAKING MORE DECISIONS THAN EVER. 2) OUR ATTENTION IS UNDER UNPRECEDENTED ATTACK. 3) WE ARE SUFFERING FROM A PERSONAL ENERGY CRISIS. Kogon, Kory. The 5 Choices: The Path to Extraordinary Productivity (pp. 6, 8, 10). Simon & Schuster. Kindle Edition.
WHAT IS EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCTIVITY? When we use the word extraordinary, we don t mean everyone has to broker world peace on Friday and win the Nobel Prize on Monday. What we are talking about is living and working at your best, where you bring your whole self to what you do, and tap into the talents and energies you uniquely have to offer. It means, above all, doing work that you can feel great about. Kogon, Kory. The 5 Choices: The Path to Extraordinary Productivity (p. 14). Simon & Schuster. Kindle Edition.
THE PROMISE OF THE 5 CHOICES EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCTIVITY: Our premise in writing this book is that everyone has the capability to do extraordinary work. Everyone has the potential to go to bed at the end of each day feeling satisfied and accomplished. However, in order to do this, you will need to directly address the three challenges [underlying] the productivity paradox. How? Make the 5 choices that will increase your capability in three areas: 1) Decision management 2) Attention management 3) Energy management Kogon, Kory. The 5 Choices: The Path to Extraordinary Productivity (p. 17). Simon & Schuster. Kindle Edition.
WHAT ARE THE 5 CHOICES? These 5 Choices are anchored in the timeless principles of human productivity that we and others have taught at FranklinCovey for over thirty years. They also draw upon the latest thinking in brain science, biology, technology, and performance psychology. They have been vetted by tens of thousands of practical experiences that people have had applying them in numerous situations and organizations around the world. They are proven and they work.
