The development expert behind some of the world's most successful leaders reveals how to unlock your team's ability to focus on the things that matter.

Unlock your team's highest potential with this proven counterintuitive approach to productivity.

In today's hyper-paced world, workers face relentless demands, endless distractions and intense pressure to deliver more with fewer resources and in less time. Overwhelmed with an endless stream of tasks and the constant ping of emails, modern teams are buried in chaos, while managers unintentionally scatter employees' efforts with unclear priorities and the pressure to overcommit.

Now, speaker and consultant Shawn Vanderhoven turns conventional thinking about productivity and leadership on its head. Drawing from the latest research and real-world insights from top-performing teams at industry giants like Amazon, Google and LinkedIn, Vanderhoven reveals that the most effective leaders don't chase action for action's sake.

Instead, they pause.

Here, we learn how to effectively filter out all the noise - from magnifying what matters most by identifying truly urgent tasks, to buffering out busy through reducing common distractions like excessive emails - so your team can finally focus on the right priorities at the right time.

Sometimes the fastest way forward starts with a pause.
