It’s been some time since I’ve taken a few minutes to write. Not too long ago I read a blog entry from someone who suggest the problem most folks have is priority management not time management. For me the priorities have been driven by the must do items instead of the want to do items. So the desire is there, the faith that I can do it is there, and the ability.
The persistent effort – that’s the one that the priority management impacts. I’ve been working on my priority management. As a consultant there are lots that I can do, however I’ve come to discover what many before me have discovered – that by focusing it is easier to be successful. The focus helps us become a recognized expert where the shotgun approach doesn’t allow us the persistent effort to develop a business. The focus gives us the ability to handle the priority management.
I’ve decided to focus all my energy on Action Learning – doing and training and diagnosis tools. My favorite tool for understanding an organization is Workplace Stars. Workplace Stars is a star assessment system that identifies how excellent a workplace is. It’s great for identifying an organization’s strengths as well as the areas for improvement. These areas for improvement help us identify great Action learning problems.
Interestingly, focusing on Action Learning allows me the opportunity to work with all companies. At first this felt like I wasn’t focusing my efforts. As an Action Learning coach I don’t need to understand an organization’s business. No one can ever know the business as the folks that work their every day. They now what will work within their environment. As a Master Action Learning Coach, I help teams to think differently, to attack the problem from a different direction, and identify the breakthrough solution. Focusing on helping teams think and work differently the desire, faith, persistent effort, and ability all together – and consequently the success that goes with that.
