Hansen, a professor of management at University of California, Berkeley, is also the author of the 2011 bestseller Great by Choice and one of the top 50 most influential management thinkers in the world.
In Great at Work, he illustrates what it means to work smarter, not harder, by describing the results of a study he conducted with more than 5,000 managers and employees. He distills those results into seven “work smarter” principles that can help any reader improve their job performance — and their overall quality of life.
