5 Gears: How to Be Present and Productive When There Is Never Enough Time is a leadership book by Jeremie Kubicek and Steve Cockram that uses the metaphor of a car's five gears to illustrate how to improve presence and productivity in personal and professional life.

The book explores five gears representing different modes of connection (recharge, deep connection, social connection, task-focused work, and hyper-focus) and emphasizes the importance of appropriately shifting between them. It also provides self-assessment tools and practical strategies for overcoming disconnection, improving communication, and increasing influence.

Kubicek and Cockram share anecdotes and exercises to help readers identify their dominant gears, understand the consequences of unhealthy gear usage, and develop a plan for more intentional living.

5 Gears aims to help readers become more self-aware, relationally connected, and effective leaders.
