Finding Time by Acting Decisively - How to Convert Circular Planning into Actions in Record Time
Do you know the difference between power planning and over-planning? Learn how jumping in, done well, can actually be safer than holding back.
“Take time to be deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.? Napoleon Bonaparte
Finding time is an ultimate challenge that requires your flexibility and initiative. Despite successful planning, you might still balk at converting your plans into actions. Remember that even the best plans are worthless if you do not act upon them. And that any actions taken in good faith can be learned from. Taking action is a commitment to participate in a situation at your current level of understanding. It requires humility and a sense of responsibility.
Is Perfectionism Holding You Back?
Being a perfectionist can be a set up for failure. As human beings, we make mistakes. Mistakes are very difficult for perfectionists to handle. Here’s why:
Perfectionism may seem like a desirable trait to have, but it can often turn into more of an obstacle than an asset. When you consider the fact that no one is perfect, perfectionists are setting themselves up for futility and disappointment.
The Essence of a Performance Scorecard
Employees need to have transparency on how they are measured in terms of quantifiable numbers through coaching and the presence of a well-define performance scorecard.
An employee performance scorecard addresses the fact that every employee needs to be driven. Some may be driven through financial incentives, and some may be looking for something that is intangible, such as self-worth. Others may aspire to become supervisors or business leaders one day. All this will be determined through a systematized and organized performance scorecard that gives employees visibility on how management measures and evaluates their performance.

Listen to Your Employees: You may have something to learn
An effective manager is one who listens. No leader can know everything, nor can he have full insight about what is going on in the trenches - unless he listens to his people.

Delegate - Or Else!
Regardless of someone’s position, I’ve noticed each and every person neglects to delegate the many simple and time-consuming tasks that are keeping them running from morning until night, while feeling ineffective and highly stressed.
Coach’s Insight: You won’t miss the money, you’ll always miss the time! Here’s a simple tactic to help you get a handle on your time.
It makes perfect sense to pay someone else $15 an hour to cut the grass (wash the car, clean the bathroom, make copies, run errands) if you can’t stand cutting the grass. This is especially true since you make far more than $15 per hour! I have uncovered many high-level CEOs actually making their own copies, sending faxes and going to the supply room for more paper clips!
Collaborate To Celebrate - Working Together To Achieve Success
The word ‘Collaborate’ gets used frequently in today’s workplace but what does it really mean and how can your organization benefit from it.
By definition, collaboration simply means working together to achieve a common objective or goal. All facets of life, including work, involve some element of collaboration as soon as more than one person engages in any part of an activity. Simply talking with someone about a problem, challenge, idea, etc… is a very rudimentary example of collaboration.
Taking this a step further in the business world, collaboration usually extends to the routing of information (usually in document or email form), so all parties are ‘kept in the loop’.
Maximum Productivity Truly Begins With Developing Loyal Customers
Productivity truly begins with that first touch between your employee A.K.A. internal customer and the customer A.K.A. external customer. For when your employees interact with the intention of making every customer contact the very best that it can be, your business will see more customers. More customers translate into more business. More business means greater profitability productivity by your employees.
Conversely, the opposite is equally true. If that first contact with your external customers is bad, then that customer will be more inclined not to come back. Non-returning customers means less sales and therefore less profitable productivity by your employees.
