Great Practicals and Useables

For those of us who are not naturally organized and who need help with ideas that are realistic and proven, Winston's book is a welcomed tool. She just flat does a good job in giving us several solutions to choose from. She does not advocate or lock in to just a single solution. E.g. From PDAs to Index cards in the front pocket...what works best for a particular individual is advocated. The last 20% of the book bogs down a little, but still does not deter from it's overall worth. This is a required book for our church planter interns at the Glocalnet training and NorthWood Church Multiplication Center.

The Master!

Stephanie proves once again, she's the master of her craft. More than helpful strategies, she also lets us peek inside the surprising world of the top executives, which was informative, surprising and fascinating. 5 Thumbs Up for Ms. Winston! M. Macauley

Help for the overwhelmed.

This book is quite fascinating. It inspired me to do some serious thinking and reworking of my work space. It's been great.

NOT JUST FOR EXECS

I found 'Organized for Success' very helpful, even though I work out of my home and do not aspire to be a CEO. The concept of 'spotlighting' runs counter to the current emphasis on multi-tasking, yet it makes a lot of sense. I also particularly liked the presentation of different people's styles of organization. I perpetually search for the best way to organize my materials and time. With the various examples and their framing, I think I have, in fact, discovered my personal style. (Time will tell.) I, also, actually enjoyed reading the book. Organizing may seem dull to many people. Ms. Winston's style was both relaxed and informative.

Winston Hits The Mark Again

Having read most of Stephanie Winston's books I am comfortable in knowing that when finished I will walk away with practical information I can immediately put into practice. Her writing style flows smoothly. The information she imparts has been most valuable. She hits many hot buttons throughout the book. The glimpse into the world of the CEO is most interesting. I encourage you to read and learn.
