Great At Work (with Morten T. Hansen)

What separates top performers from everyone else? Is it really just a matter of hustle and multi-tasking, or is there something else going on? Today’s guest Morten T. Hansen has spent several years studying top performers and he’s discovered that there are seven key differentiators between average and remarkable performers. On this episode, he shares why working more hours can be counter-productive, how to prune priorities to create maximum value, and how to say “no” to your boss.

His new book is called Great At Work. To learn more and take a survey that will help you be great at work, visit MortenHansen.com.
