Authors: Jim Steffen, The Ken Blanchard Series

View Cover Image

Written in the simple fable style of the Ken Blanchard Series, the central idea of this book from author Jim Steffen is developing "Aligned Thinking," which is when "What you really want from life and work drives every action" and "Every action takes you step-by-step to what you really want."

The keys to developing Aligned Thinking are three questions:

• Now Question: How do I get the most from the only thing I control—my actions now?
• Focus Question: With the many options I have, how do I stay focused on what I really want?
• Purpose Question: What do I really want from life and work?

Aligned Thinking outlines a simple, effective strategy to help overwhelmed people—all of those who have too much to do and too many obligations—understand their priorities, both at work and at home.
