In this Harvard Business Review article, Peter Bregman argues that we should take on a "sprinter's tactic" when taking on our leadership responsibilities, and plan to accomplish things in half the time that we've previously planned. The main example is the "30 Minute Meeting," but he also speaks about the 30 minute phone call, the 30-minute coaching meeting, the 30-minute workout. The effect is that others are hyper-focused, too.
To make maximum use of this time, though, you need to insist on getting the most out of the 30 minutes: no multi-tasking, have a laser focus ("decide on the one thing that will make the biggest difference, and spend the 30 minutes on that"), prepare beforehand, be fully present.
