Maximizing Your Personal Productivity - MIT Sloan Executive Education

Counting the hours you spend at work makes no sense for professionals; their contribution should be judged by what they achieve. Yet so many organizations still bill by the hour, or emphasize face time in the office. Maximizing Your Personal Productivity will show you how to get more done in fewer hours, so you have more time to spend with your family, or in any other activity. It includes many practical suggestions about how to improve your productivity.

The course is based on Extreme Productivity, a best selling book by Bob Pozen, Faculty Director of the program and former President of Fidelity Investments and Executive Chairman of MFS Investment Management. Bob was first interviewed about his own productivity when he was full time chairman of a large asset manager and carrying a full teaching load at a distinguished university. That interview went viral on the blogs, so he wrote a short book, drawing upon his personal and professional experiences.

Learning Experience

This course is designed to increase the personal productivity of professionals through a series of case studies, practical exercises and background readings.

The course will encourage self-evaluation through polls and surveys about your work habits. Thus, the course will involve a high degree of active participation by students, who will learn through doing and role playing.
