Today's boardrooms are filled with executives wringing their hands over such concerns as product decisions, the new consumer, and financial results, and even if they find a solution, all their work will only have a granular effect on real growth. Thoughtfully Ruthless lays out the secret to rapid business growth by showing you how to unbelievably invent more time, catapult your energy, and boost the productivity of your resources.

Author Val Wright has unlocked the potential of leaders of all stripes—from doctors to musicians to C-suite executives—and guided their ascent to the next level of success. In most cases, the obstacle they overcome is not the economy, the market conditions, or the competition. In her storied career, she discovered that the secret to exponential growth comes down to how leaders ruthlessly manage their time, energy, and resources … in a thoughtful way. Through firsthand stories of the author being thoughtfully ruthless in her own career and life, she shows you how to do the same by adopting the habits, skills, and practices of some of the most successful business leaders of our time. You'll learn how to become sensibly selfish, how to spend your time and energy, and what issues to delegate or ignore so you can clear your slate to focus on what really matters to you. Designed around the principles it lays out, this straightforward resource comes packed with tangible directives that are quick and easy to use, inject fresh energy into your routine, and immediately improve the way you operate. Keep this toolkit at your fingertips for real-time coaching when you feel like hesitating, including:

Dozens of ready-to-use assessments, exercises, and proven practical tools for accelerating growth Concrete steps for transforming yourself from humble to shameless Thirty ways to say "no" and other ways to take control of your daily input An appendix of 99 ways to be thoughtfully ruthless with your time, energy, and resources
