David Allen, veteran coach and creator of Getting Things Done (GTD), joined the Rypple Leadership Series for a practical, in-depth look at stress free managing through better productivity. This one hour webinar looked at how GTD can transform your management practice, giving you the ability to relax, focus, and conquer your tasks. We explored both sides of management productivity: getting your things done and giving your team the tools and feedback they need to excel.
