Nick Sonnenburg on Leveraging Systems and Tools to Stop Drowning in Work

Nick Sonnenburg and Erik Fisher discuss Nick’s new book, Come Up for Air: How Teams Can Leverage Systems and Tools to Stop Drowning in Work.

This week I'm excited to welcome Nick Sonnenburg to the show for an informative discussion about his new book Come Up for Air: How Teams Can Leverage Systems and Tools to Stop Drowning in Work Nick is an entrepreneur, Inc. columnist, and guest lecturer at Columbia University. He is the Founder and CEO of Leverage, a leading operational efficiency consultancy that helps companies implement his CPR® Business Efficiency Framework. 

Coming Up for Air and what Nick calls The CPR Framework is the culmination of Nick’s unique perspective on the value of time, efficiency, and automation which stems in part from the eight years he spent working as a high-frequency trader on Wall Street. The CPR Framework consistently results in greater output, less stress, happier employees, and the potential to gain an extra full day per week in productivity per person—just by using the right tools in the right way, at the right time. Nick and his team have worked with organizations of all sizes and across all industries, from high-growth startups to the Fortune 10. It is Nick's hope that this book will serve an invaluable tool for organizations of any size to stop drowning in work and start building efficiencies.
