I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.'\u003c\/em\u003e So said author Douglas Adams - but what if there was a way of making deadlines work for you and using them to ensure others provide you with what you want when you want it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Christopher Cox's brilliant new book, \u003cem\u003eThe Deadline Effect\u003c\/em\u003e, he looks at the impact deadlines have on us, and how we can use them to deliver the best results for all parties. Social scientists have revealed that most negotiations run right up to the deadline before a deal is finally struck. What they also discovered was that this deadline effect usually results in a worse deal for both parties. Cox shows you how, instead, the deadline effect can be used to bring about success not failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe truth is that most of us think of deadlines all wrong. They aren’t immutable laws of nature; they are a game we can play - and win. This book will show you the strategies different workplaces have come up with to do just that. They are the businesses and individuals who are rehabilitating the deadline effect, taking the urgency it provides and jettisoning all the down-to-the-wire nonsense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBased on his own experience as a magazine commissioning editor, where coaxing writers to deliver on time is an art form, he also embeds himself in other businesses, such as a ski patrol ahead of the first day of the winter season, to see how they meet deadlines that cannot be missed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbove all, this book is an argument to embrace the power of deadlines.\u003c\/strong\u003e When time is limited, people are less wasteful, more focused, productive and creative. It’s a liberating realisation: excellence and timeliness are not at odds, and the deadline effect can be highly effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46817116487916,"sku":"9781471190476","price":28.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/22128073482711.jpg?v=1757878257","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-deadline-effect-by-christopher-cox-9781471190476","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
