Author: KEN BLANCHARD and STEVE GOTTRY

The on-time on-target manager is one book which reveals all secrets of how a “last minute manager” conquers Procrastination.

It’s an excellent book which talks about the three P’s of life….which will help you make correct decisions in time.

The three P’s – A mystery revealed by Ken Blanchard with a wonderful storyline to make his readers understand the depth of each ‘P’.

1. Priority “want to and have to”

  • Most important job – “highest priority
  • Categorize your jobs in three groups “YES, MAY BE, NO
    • Yes – want to do and have to do, have to do but don’t want to do
    • May be – want to do but don’t have do
    • No – don’t want to do and don’t have to do

2. Propriety “The bill of rights”

  • Do the right thing
  • Do it for right reasons
  • Do it with the right people
  • Do it at the right time
  • Do it with intensity
  • Do it for the right results

3. Commitmentya gotta wanna

  • what do I want to do and why I want to do it

The three words, although the ones we have been hearing since ages but never understood the impact of each in decision making.

This book beautifully brings out the peculiarity of the words and how one can implement these three in his life to make it more pronounced.
