This ebook is not a typical book that you read from cover to cover. It is a toolkit to be consulted when you need inspiration, when you face a challenge, or want to organize your knowledge related to management, sales, or personal effectiveness.
When a pilot reacts to warning lights or performs routine tasks during a flight, s/he uses checklists. The checklists include specific instructions on how to act in specific situations – the same rule applies to this toolbox: use it as a support to overcome difficulties, for the purpose of fulfilling some routine activities, or even those that you rarely do.
is a toolkit that:
e.g. building employee engagement, dealing with crisis situations, running effective meetings, creating effective teams, arousing motivation, delegating, giving feedback and many others
both strategy-wise and sales-wise, e.g.: creating a sales model, conducting sales talks, argumentation and persuasion techniques
e.g. goal-setting, organizational and effective work, creativity, public speaking

look at the checklists related to the development of a company in difficult situations. The checklist offers tips for dealing with areas like sales, marketing, company costs and managing a team in a crisis.
but you are not a recruiter who conducts dozens of interviews a week, reach for checklists on interviewing and onboarding. You'll find a description of a step-by-step process for conducting interviews and onboarding of employees.
use the Pro Speech Tools checklist. Read the article about it, and then focus on the points from the checklist that you consider essential in your case. It is enough to focus only on some of them.

There are many books on personal and business efficiency on the market. However, for the first time I have a toolkit in my hand, which allows me to intuitively reach for tools that support me in my everyday work activities. 190 pages of business "meat", detailed information that helps me be well prepared, and therefore also professional in the eyes of the client. The author who created the toolkit, "feels" the business and the needs of the people working in it. From the moment I have come into the possession of this book and checked how it works in practice, I started calling it "my personal assistant". And I know it will be a long-term cooperation. Until the next publication..

Keeping things tidy isn't often about cleaning up, but more about not making a mess. Development is not only about learning new things, but also about unlearning unnecessary activities. The strength of a business depends primarily on its growth and running it in a well-organized manner. Checklists for Business are a guarantee that every reader is truly able to learn how not to be messy. The Wright brothers invented flying, but people like Maciej Sasin invented checklists. Thanks to those people pilots and passengers make their dreams come true in the air, and entrepreneurs and managers boldly implement their shared visions.

In a reality that demands too much from our memory and encourages too much automation, checklists are a must for every manager. Maciej was kind enough to collect them in one book 😉 The only thing left for us to follow them

The book effectively organizes and provides tools for managing key processes in the organization. In an easy and accessible manner, it allows you to diagnose the challenges and difficulties in a given area of management or sales. I especially recommend it to entrepreneurs, managers and trainers.
Wojciech Śląski, entrepreneur, co-owner of Triada Druk
The book should not so much be in the bookcase as on the desk of every entrepreneur. So that he or she can quickly reach for it and avoid many of the mistakes, the experiences of which make up the checklists presented in it. Because every entrepreneur needs to be a bit of an HR professional, a salesperson or a customer service person. And he or she must be able to manage people and companies in good times as well as in crisis. Alongside practical checklists, you will find references to good practice and good literature. This is both important and useful. On the one hand, it provides a context and a reason to deal with the areas described. And, on the other hand, it allows for some reflection and diagnosis that will help your personal and business development.
