Charles Duhigg MCAA18Productivity is often measured by the speed at which we tackle our to-do lists. Real productivity, however, comes from thinking differently—managing how we identify goals, construct teams, direct our focus and make decisions.

With case studies from a U.S. Marine Corps boot camp, the making of Disney’s Frozen, and how Google sought to build the perfect team, he explains how people and companies become smarter, faster and better.
