The Power of Full Engagement

Managing energy, not time, is the key to high performance and personal renewal by Tony Schwartz. This one sounds hokey but I’ve read it a few times and its especially good for people who are further in their careers wondering how they can continue to maintain the pace and expectations in their roles. The Bay Area is a pretty fast moving place with intense competition and expectations – so, how do you manage?
