Today's managers and executives are cash rich but time poor. They are increasingly pressured to succeed in their careers but there is growing awareness of the cost this has on their personal lives. Beating the 24/7 takes as its starting point a set of specially commissioned interviews with some of today's most high-profile business leaders - including Richard Branson, Dominic Cadbury, Nicola Horlick, Michael Grade and Baroness Hogg. Exploring the complex, interrelated nature of sacrifice and success, Winston Fletcher draws on their experiences to offer powerful lessons for taking control of your personal agenda. Areas such as delegation, personal values and the role of the partner are examined in detail, and a unique diagnostic tool enables readers to calibrate their own 'Work/Life Ratio'. Beating the 24/7 allows any reader to achieve a good work-life balance and start reaping the benefits.
