As managers we need to digest tons of material each day. Be it reports, emails, white papers, research papers or general information related to your industry not to mention the local and international news.
Information overload! These book reading skills can be applied to some of our everyday mundane tasks to effectively manage and process all the information we are receiving. Except for emails (which can also be scheduled) create dedicated daily time slots for specific material and content. That way you will always find the time to keep current.
