Read MoreAllocate Your Time…and Your Effort
“How does he find time to meet with 10 customers a week and make his yearly quota in the first quarter?,” a salesman wonders about his top producing coworker. I can barely find time to have five appointments a week and get all my paperwork done correctly and turned in on time. “How does she manage to champion strategic initiatives, network with executives, and only work 40 hours a week?,” a manager ponders about his colleague on the corporate fast track. After a day full of project meetings, the best I can do is reactively respond to e-mail at night instead of proactively developing my department. Here’s the secret: Your colleagues that...

Recently, a huge online discussion about people-pleasers versus self-pleasers was sparked by my recent article, “Stop being a People Pleaser.” As one reader explains, ” I’d love to see an article taking the opposite position: How do I start pleasing other people and caring about their needs? I’m kind of a cynical, misanthropic [jerk] and apparently that’s not OK in most lines of business. Do I change, or do I find a new line of work?” In response, I explored the perspectives of both types of people in: “To Please or Not to Please, That is the Question.” Outlining the two different perspectives, I explain how we can...
Read MorePlan to Plan
Life rarely perfectly follows a plan. But that doesn’t mean that you should just give up and not make a plan. It means that you should embrace a realistic expectation of what planning can and can not do for you: Planning Can Not: Guarantee everything will go perfectly. Make all work fit within the desired estimates. Eliminate all unexpected obstacles. Planning Can: Give you clarity on your priorities. Reassure you that you’re not forgetting anything. Allow you to get the most important things done on time. The importance of realistic planning was re-emphasized for me in the completion of my book manuscript, which I turned in this summer. I would like to...
