Greg McKeown (born 1977 in London, England) is an author, public speaker, leadership and business strategist.
McKeown earned an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business [1] after completing BA in communications and journalism at Brigham Young University. [2]
He is the founder and CEO of McKeown, Inc., a leadership and strategy design agency based in California. [3] Prior to founding his eponymous company, McKeown worked for Heidrick & Struggles' Global Leadership Practice. [4] According to the New Yorker, his strategies often revolve around minimalism. [5] In 2012, The World Economic Forum inducted McKeown into the Forum of Young Global Leaders. [6]
McKeown is the author of Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, [7] Effortless: Make It Easy to Do What Matters, [8] and co-author (with Liz Wiseman) of the Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter . [9] All three have become New York Times bestsellers. [10] His book Essentialism [11] is a business and self-leadership book that discusses how to figure out what is essential, how to eliminate what's nonessential and how to make it as effortless as possible to do what really matters. [12] [13] It includes concepts such as the "90 percent rule", which encourages individuals to pay closer attention to those items they have a "more than ninety percent interest in" and to pay less attention other aspects of life. [14] His work also focuses on the importance of saying "no" in other situations as well. [15] Part of his recommendation to help with this is a method of journaling by only recording days with a few sentences rather than longer explanations. [16]
He is also a blogger for the Harvard Business Review [17] and LinkedIn’s Influencers Group. [18] [19]
McKeown speaks on how to live and lead as an Essentialist. [20] [21] McKeown interviewed Al Gore at the Annual Conference of the World Economic Forum [22] in Davos, Switzerland, and received an invitation to speak at his Annual Innovation Conference. [23] McKeown has been interviewed on television and radio shows including NPR's All Things Considered [24] and NBC. [25]
Originally from London, England, McKeown now lives in California with his wife, Anna, and their four children. He is a Bishop in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. [10]
A mindset is an established set of attitudes of a person or group concerning culture, values, philosophy, frame of mind, outlook, and disposition. It may also arise from a person's worldview or beliefs about the meaning of life.
Disciplinarians believe that self control is of the utmost importance and enforce a set of rules that aim to develop such behaviour. Such enforcement is often based on punishment.
Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter is a business book by Liz Wiseman and Greg McKeown. It was published on June 15, 2010 through HarperCollins and looks into different forms of leadership and how they can either help or hinder the people they are managing.

A mission statement is a short statement of why an organization exists, what its overall goal is, the goal of its operations: what kind of product or service it provides, its primary customers or market, and its geographical region of operation. It may include a short statement of such fundamental matters as the organization's values or philosophies, a business's main competitive advantages, or a desired future state—the "vision". Historically it is associated with Christian religious groups; indeed, for many years, a missionary was assumed to be a person on a specifically religious mission. The word "mission" dates from 1598, originally of Jesuits sending members abroad.
