Take cues from these fifteen leading CEOs and you’ll soon see a rise in output quantity and quality. See a preview below:

  • Avoid multitasking. Douglas Merril, author of Getting Organized in the Google Era, and former CIO of Google says “Do one thing at a time, minimize context shifts, maximize brain power!”
  • Use email to document. Karl Hoagland, founder of Larkspur Hotels and Restaurants, says ”When scheduling travel and social activities, I like to communicate plans through e-mail to both family and colleagues to keep an easy record of correspondence rather than relying on a possibly hurried conversation.”
  • Skip meetings. Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and CEO of HDNet, says ”Meetings are a waste of time unless you are closing a deal. There are so many ways to communicate in real time or asynchronously that any meeting you actually sit for should have a duration and set outcome before you agree to go.”
