This is Laura Stack's leadership keynote, suited for professionals who are responsible for improving the productivity of direct reports or teams and have to get more done with fewer people. This presentation is perfect for leadership development programs and executive retreats.

Good leaders understand that time management is not about squeezing more into the day: it's about you and your people spending time productively to accomplish your organization's goals.
