The 59 Second Mind Map: Unstick Your Priorities For Greater Productivity

People who believe in "quality circles," "teams," "visions," and other trendy management terms that have been skewered by Dilbert, will love "mind mapping." It's a process for ‘outlining' the steps you will take in order to accomplish a task; whether it be planning a vacation, writing a book, or getting ready for a presentation, the "mind map" helps you to see the big picture and to prioritize action plans. Management and communication expert Richard Konieczka presents his ideas in a highly entertaining manner that keeps the pace lively while still managing to lay out the fundamentals in a relatively short period of time. Although viewers will come away from this program with a new respect for time management and goal setting, librarians should note that throughout the presentation viewers are asked to turn off the VCR and perform certain assignments with the accompanying study materials, which include a study booklet and three audiocassettes. Recommended, with reservations. Aud: C, P. (J. Carlson)
