About the Book

Achieve More by Doing Less Success in leadership often becomes its own trap. The better you perform, the more complexity, noise, and demands pile onto your plate. But what if the key to extraordinary results isn't doing more, but removing what doesn't matter? The Michelangelo Principle: How Busy Leaders Accomplish More by Doing Less challenges you to rethink leadership. Like Michelangelo carving David, true mastery lies not in adding, but in chiseling away the unnecessary to reveal your full potential. This book is designed for Corporate Olympians, high-performing leaders caught in the paradox of success. With fresh perspectives, innovative concepts, and actionable tools, you'll learn to sidestep inefficiencies, eliminate distractions, and amplify your leadership impact. Break Free from Leadership Traps – Avoid time-wasters, zombie projects, and the illusion of competence. Build Resilience – Shift from rigidity to adaptability with systems that thrive in uncertainty. Activate Your Team – Transform committees into high-performance teams that own results. Leave a Legacy – Stop leaving trails of activity and start building systems that outlast you. From The Valley of Death to The Two Buckets Problem, The Michelangelo Principle introduces powerful frameworks and practical tools inspired by disciplines as diverse as physics, history, and engineering. It challenges conventional wisdom and offers practical steps to streamline your leadership, sharpen decision-making, and focus on what matters most. This is not just another book on productivity. It's a roadmap for creating a simpler, stronger, and more impactful path to leadership success.
