Book Description

Release Date: Feb 1 2003
We live in digital time. Our pace is rushed, rapid fire and relentless. Facing crushing workloads, we try to cram as much as possible into every day. We're wired up, but we're melting down. Time management is no longer a viable solution. Managing energy, not time, is the key to enduring high performance as well as to health, happiness and life balance.

The number of hours in a day is fixed, but the quantity and quality of energy available to us is not. This fundamental insight has the power to revolutionize the way you live your life. The Power of Full Engagement is a highly practical, scientifically based approach to managing your energy more skillfully both on and off the job.

At the heart of the program is The Corporate Athlete® Training System. During the past decade, dozens of Fortune 500 companies have paid thousands of dollars to learn the Corporate Athlete training system. So have FBI swat teams, critical care physicians and nurses, salesmen and stay-at-home moms. The Power of Full Engagement lays out key training principles and provides a powerful, step-by-step program that will help you to:

  • Mobilize four key sources of energy
  • Balance energy expenditure with intermittent energy renewal
  • Expand capacity in the same systematic way that elite athletes do
  • Create highly specific, positive energy management rituals

The Power of Full Engagement provides a life-changing roadmap to becoming more fully engaged on and off the job.

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

The authors, founders of and executives at LGE Performance Systems, an executive training program based on athletic coaching programs, offer a program aimed at stressed individuals who want to find more purpose in their work and ways to better handle their overburdened relationships. Just as athletes train, play and then recover, people need to recognize their own energy levels. "Balancing stress and recovery is critical not just in competitive sports, but also in managing energy in all facets of our lives. Emotional depth and resilience depend on active engagement with others and with our own feelings." Case studies demonstrate how some modest changes can have an immediate impact. Loehr (Mental Toughness Training for Sports) and Schwartz (Art of the Deal, writing with Donald Trump) also include a chart highlighting Action Steps, Targeted Muscle, Desired Outcome and Performance Barrier and apply these tenets to individual cases. A chart analyzing the benefits and costs to taking certain action shows the impact negative behavior can have on both physical and mental well-being. However, the actual "training program" whereby readers can learn how to institute certain rituals to change their behavior is less well-defined. Managers and other employees who have attended HR seminars may find this plan easy to use, but self-employed people and others less familiar with "training" may be unable to recognize their behavior patterns and change them.

From Booklist

For 25 years, Loehr and Schwartz have conducted intensive training with professional athletes to help them perform at peak levels under intense competitive pressures. They are not involved in the physical training process, however. Their intervention focuses on effective management of our most precious resource, our energy. They have found to their surprise that the performance demands most people face in their everyday work environments are often tougher than those professional athletes face. Because athletes train constantly, they are more prepared, whereas most people are in the work game 8 to 12 hours a day with little or no training at all. Most of us are constantly trying to manage time; here, the authors have instead set out a prescription for managing energy on every level: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. You are likely to find some of yourself in one of the many case studies they provide to illustrate their techniques. Some of what they say is reminiscent of Tony Robbins' self-help material, but without all the hype it's easier to digest. David Siegfried

3.0 out of 5 stars Not so much for moms and the rest of us Mar 17 2003
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Most reviewers will be men as opposed to Stephen Covey's 7 Habits where many women and child care providers can relate better. I have worked inside large companies and small ones with extensive sales training. I see this as a book for people who can pick up company training programs, grasp opportunities and run with them on their own. But, what about the rest of us who have been out of the business loop? I am now a mom who stays at home with my children by choice and would love to have nonprofessional mumbo jumbo for energy applications. Out of the work force for several years and a different path chosen makes
this book not such a good read for moms (who stay home or who work outside) and families. It leaves out anyone who has not
been chosen as one of the worthy people to embrace "company
political training." The authors and the publisher have left millions out - so don't say it's for everyone. It's not. For moms and anyone in the family/kid role who are in great need of much "energy" to prevent Mommy Melt Down or even Life Melt Down, my first love is still Stephen Covey, 7 Habits, and Jodie Lynn's, Mommy-CEO (Constantly Evaluating Others) 5 Golden Rules. Here are two books almost everyone can understand and get on with positive energy and organization while keeping sanity. Another favorite specifically for parents would be Best Friends Worst Enemies, by Michael Thompson. The world would benefit in personal and family relationships, and embrace life building skills in the coorporate world too, from reading these books.

5.0 out of 5 stars The first major contribution since Seven Habits Mar 22 2003
By Joseph Grenny
Format:Hardcover
There are two books I've read in the past twenty years that I believe reset the agenda for personal development. The first was Seven Habits of Highly Effective People which took us out of quick fix and into the root source of effectiveness which is character. The second is this book. Loehr and Schwartz have focused my attention on the root source of results in life: energy. They engagingly, clearly and helpfully articulate the fallacy of focusing on time management when the true strength of soul and capacity to create results in life is not how much time we have (a fixed quantity you can do nothing about) but the energy you develop and make choices to apply. I'm grateful to have found this book early rather than waiting for its powerful message to make a similar difference in my life to the other of these two seminal books.

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A refreshing look at engagement and high performance. Really appreciate the concise summaries at the end of each chapter and the personal development "tools" in the appendix. Well worth the money and time.
