The most finite resource any manager has is time. This handbook teaches readers how to save and preserve their time by first understanding its limitations, and then showing them how to guard it.

The book also takes full advantage of modern technology by explaining how to maximize e-mail, voicemail, and other tools available to save precious time. The book is clear, concise and efficient, ensuring that none of the time you spend reading it is wasted.
