I hired Laura Stack to work with my team. Her views are drawn from her twenty-five years of experience with hundreds of leaders and organizations like mine, and I give her work my highest recommendation. -Steve Silver, Human Resources Director, AlliedBarton Security Services If you follow the concepts Stack sculpts in Doing the Right Things Right, you can gather insight into where you can improve results, why you might be falling short in some areas, and how to improve both your work and your life. -Cathy Krause, Learning and Development Manager, MillerCoors Stack is so right about 'doing the right things right.' My advice for how an effective executive should spend some time? Read and learn from her book! -Harvey Mackay, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Swim with the Sharks without Being Eaten Alive Laura Stack is one of the brightest professional people I know.

Qubein, President, High Point University If you're tired of all the business fables and want real-world coaching on getting more done, then this is the book for you. -Randy Gage, author of the New York Times bestseller Risky Is the New Safe and Mad Genius I hired Laura Stack personally six years ago. My staff and I were frazzled and felt overworked and out of control. Stack came to town and came to work and life has been better since. Rarely does a day go by that I don't think of one or two of the productive tips she teaches. Now, Doing the Right Things Right comes along and updates, refreshes, and adds a new perspective to the science of productivity and all that I thought I knew. Read this book so you too can 'manufacture' that time in your life that you need so you can go home early! -Montague Boyd, CFP, forty-year financial advisor, Atlanta, Georgia Laura Stack doesn't beat around the bush when it comes to productive advice-because that would waste time. Not a word's wasted here. Her examples are to the point, her advice concise, and the book itself surprisingly brief. If she were anyone else, I'd say she tried to cram too many topics into one book, but that's part of this book's utility-this book saves time and shelf space. -Jeremy Eaves, Director, People Services, DaVita Inc. To be successful in business, you must make money, and time is money. The more time you can save, the more of it you can repurpose to higher-value activities. In Doing the Right Things Right, Laura Stack offers leaders a practical guide on doing their jobs efficiently and effectively. -Alex Doverspike, Director of Financial Services, Chick-fil-A, Inc. Once again the 'right' thing to do is to read Laura's latest book, Doing the Right Things Right. Her time-saving productivity systems are vital to strong leadership of self or team. Her practical approach, coupled with a quarter century of teaching leaders, will help you succeed without the pain of mistakes. -Jeff Bettinger, Global Head of Talent Acquisition, Alcon I love Laura's refreshingly practical perspective. No one really cares how many items you've crossed off your to-do list or how many hours you spend at the office. What matters is that you get the right things done-and that's what this no-nonsense little book will teach you to do. -Laura Vanderkam, author of I Know How She Does It Laura Stack has taken the best ideas of Peter Drucker to a new level for the 21st century. This book shows you how to dramatically increase your efficiency, effectiveness, and results-faster than you ever thought possible. -Brian Tracy, author of Time Power and Eat That Frog!
