About the book

Pause

“Gives you the tools you need to focus on the things that matter. Essential!” —Kim Scott, New York Times bestselling author of Radical Candor

USA TODAY bestseller Pause gives you the strategies to get your team’s best work in the most distracting environments.

Is the pressure to do more with less pushing you and your team to the brink?

Budgets are tight. Priorities are multiplying. Change is constant. But you don’t have to lose your team’s best work and company resources to churn and distraction. With Pause, you won’t.

Drawing on original research from over 150 top companies including Amazon, Google, and LinkedIn, researcher and consultant Shawn Vanderhoven discovered how the best leaders triple their team’s focus to increase performance and impact. These leaders know when to tap the brakes to intentionally invest in their people’s ability to go bigger and faster on top priorities.

With this actionable framework, you’ll learn how to:

- Protect focus by identifying and replacing crazy-distracting messaging habits
- Generate momentum by turning fuzzy goals into crystal-clear targets
- Reveal the hidden workload that’s silently killing your priorities
- Recognize when your people need your ear to increase their ability to concentrate
- Turn rumination into confidence by using mistakes to fuel growth
- Get your boss to clarify what matters when everything is a priority

Through captivating case studies and easy-to-use How-Tos, Pause gives you the practices to cut through the noise, do brilliant work, and become the boss everyone wants to work for.
