Speed To Success: How to Work Smarter, Move Faster, and Get Things Done
Being busy is not the same as being productive. Working fast is not the same as working well. And the professionals who consistently outperform their peers have not discovered some secret reserve of energy or talent - they have simply learned to work differently.
Drawing on two decades advising banks, insurers, asset managers, and regulators through high-stakes engagements and real deadlines, Terence Creighton has spent his career studying what separates professionals who move with clarity and purpose under pressure from those who are simply busy. Speed to Success distills that experience into a complete, practical system.
Across four parts, the book builds a full toolkit for sustainable high performance:
Part One lays the foundations - the real difference between speed and productivity, the mindset that makes fast, clear thinking possible, and the practical art of prioritisation (including the Eisenhower Matrix and the ABCDE Method).Part Two delivers the tactical toolkit - time mastery, the two-minute rule, eliminating distraction, and making confident decisions quickly.Part Three builds the systems that sustain performance - high-performance habits, streamlined workflows, and quality at pace.Part Four addresses the long game - energy management, stress and recovery, and aligning daily speed with long-term ambition.Every chapter ends with clear key takeaways and specific, immediately usable actions. Every framework is illustrated and explained so you can apply it without re-reading. And every idea has been tested under real pressure, in real organisations - not developed in a laboratory or a lecture theatre.
If you are a professional who works hard but suspects the effort isn't translating into the impact it should, this book will show you exactly where the gap is - and exactly what to do about it, starting today.
