Synopsis

It is your choice to act with "first responder" urgency in your business, outside of an emergency or a crisis. Imagine applying this kind of focus and commitment to your most important goals and objectives. As a business consultant or coach--this is an incredibly powerful tool for helping to create value.

Why can The Power of Urgency give you the best system you may ever find for solving your biggest challenges? Because it is the fastest. If you can choose between a system that works when applied over a long period of time and one that works right now, which do you want?

From bestselling author Steve Chandler: "When I first met Will Keiper, I thought he had a bit of a problem. He wasn't a very good compromiser. His preference was to challenge "go-along-to-get-along" company cultures and people. He was a man on the move and he sometimes came off as impatient. Some called him "brutally honest"—with the emphasis on the "brutal" part. He would call it getting to the "obvious truth."

I later learned that what he had wasn't a problem at all. He had a special kind of objectivity and sense of urgency that was his alone. It was how he knew to be most effective. He preferred results—and rapidly. It was clear he had found amazing strength and enlightenment on the other side of his warrior's sword.

He had found his true calling as a genius change agent for-hire specializing in very rapid reversals of fortune. From failure to success, from stuck to moving, from broke to prosperous. He could go into a company, bring his own brand of applied urgency to its most challenging problems, turn things around for the better—and leave before they knew what hit them. Don't you wish we could all do that? Or, at the very least, have access to Will's brain to turn our own problems around that quickly? Prayer answered!

This book is proof that you can bottle this stuff. At least Will Keiper can, because as far as I know only he understands how to do this. I've spent my life studying systems that work to change businesses and lives. There aren't many that work, but this is one that does—maybe even the best one."

Présentation de l'éditeur

As an executive, trusted consultant, mentor or coach, enabling a powerful sense of urgency in the service of others, can be one of your most compelling outcomes. The Power of Urgency is the blueprint by which you can create more impact with all of your clients, customers and constituents. Have you ever said, "I am really great in a crisis!" You recall rising to the immediate challenge with the best of yourself. Why wait for a crisis to be at the top of your game? The author describes how to use the amazing strength, creativity and boldness you discover through your reaction to a fight-or-flight situation, and do it proactively when and where you choose. As a business leader, entrepreneur, consultant, mentor or coach (or anyone ready to change the status quo), learn how to create from the best of yourself by being urgent in pursuing the objectives most important to you. From the introduction by Steve Chandler: "This book first makes the point that the power of urgency is known to all of us. We can reference it. We have all had situations wherein we had no time to think and plan, where we simply had to respond with the highest energy we had. Later we basked in the afterglow of amazing results. This thought rose up: Hey I didn’t know I had it in me. Then, maybe years later, it would happen again. Emergency-level crisis and massive, inspired personal action taken in response. Usually extremely bold and surprisingly clever. Remember those rare moments? But, as Will points out here, these events are all driven by external circumstances. We are challenged. We have nowhere to hide. We respond. But what if we could turn this ability on and off by making a proactive decision to engage it? What if we could bring the urgency with us into situations of our choosing? What if we could elevate our consciousness into that super-mind state we’re all so fleetingly aware of? That’s the lightning in a bottle that’s been caught here for everyone to learn to use."
