ARE YOU STUCK IN THE DETAILS?

When Small Is Too Big.

Even if is not your purpose, at some point in your life you have applied micromanagement. There are tasks that in one way or another require your full attention in every step and in every little detail. Unfortunately, no matter what your professional role is, if micromanaging expands more than necessary it will reduce productivity, decrease the possibilities of growth, and ultimately limit the success of any project.

micromanagement

Let’s look at the why of micromanaging and how we can avoid staying in it longer than necessary.

NOT ENOUGH TIME?

Establish What Is Urgent and What Is Important

When we have a long list of things to do, it is easy to get confused between what is urgent and what is important. Sometimes, all these activities seem like they have to be done at the same time, but we cannot find a way to do them all.

urgent

Let’s talk about why it is so important to understand the relationship between what is urgent vs what is important and how we can make decisions based on this understanding.

WHAT IS YOUR ABC?

Without Priorities There Is No Productivity

If at some point in your life you thought that increasing your productivity would give you better results, you are not alone. Many understand that to achieve a goal and manage resources properly, it is necessary to be productive.

Let’s talk about the benefits of being productive and how you can guarantee the results you want.

THINK TO ACHIEVE

What You Think Is What You Decide

According to British writer James Allen, pioneer of the self-help movement: as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. I think this statement is not far from reality. Look around and ask yourself: What you have, what you do, what you are until today, is the product of your thoughts? The answer to this question is probably different for each of us.

thoughts

However, in my experience, having a positive mindset or as we usually say, good thinking, has a great influence on everything we do and achieve. How are you using your thinking?

YOUR NEXT STEP TOWARDS EXCELLENCE

Recognize Your Strengths

Perhaps you have bought a product through the internet which turned out to be poor or average quality and you had to spend extra time and money returning it. It’s almost certain that if this happened to you, you wouldn’t buy this product again or recommend it to someone else.

average

If we mention what is “average” the list is long. For example services, companies, projects, relationships, and all the things that are not done with excellence. If people have the ability to achieve a high level of excellence, why do many fail?

THE LEADER IN TIME OF CHANGE

In which areas are you losing the battle?

Have you ever wondered why you are very successful in some areas and not in others? Some people are more successful in their professional lives but not in their personal lives. This is also true for those who consider they have a successful personal life but have financial challenges.

successful

There are several reasons why people are not successful in all areas of their lives. One of these reasons is because they have not been motivated and directed towards developing their full potential. On the other hand, over time they acquire values and opinions that unfortunately become self-limiting beliefs, and that leads them to make incorrect decisions.

LEADERS IN TIME OF CHANGE

What is the Status Quo for?

In this time called the “new normal”, it is not difficult to understand that massive changes are taking place at the personal and business level. As a result, the health crisis we are facing has led many to leave the status quo behind.

new normal

A clear example is a workforce that has to demonstrate their ability to adapt by working in varied environments. For some, it is a mandatory situation, but for others, it is part of the intelligent risks that every leader must take.

LEADING IN TIMES OF CHANGE

Is the change challenging you?

The tension that changes produce is a challenge for many. People would like the change to notify its arrival, or better that it did not arrive. Unfortunately, this is not the case, change is constant in our lives, and those who do not recognize it live under great stress.

Tension

Tension has great benefits, but unfortunately, there are few who want to be under tension. A large number of people are willing to settle for an average life. Furthermore, many opportunities, dreams, and goals are not fulfilled because people do not want to be under stress.

LEADERSHIP IN TIMES OF CRISIS – II

Taking Unexpected Changes as An Opportunity

Due to the global crisis caused by COVID-19, that many believe is unprecedented, numerous changes have been observed. All those changes in such a short period of time, that for many of us, especially the new generations, have not been seen before

unprecedented

Many of these changes have been established at official levels; others of these changes have been decisions taken individually. What changes did you have to accept? What changes were your own decisions?

LEADERSHIP IN TIMES OF CRISIS – I

Leaders Must Define Reality

During the last months, due to COVID-19 global crisis, maintaining a realistic thinking has been one of the greatest challenges we have faced. After six (6) months or more of the first statements about this virus, there is still a high level of uncertainty.

COVID-19

I agree with the American businessman Max DePree, “the first responsibility of a leader is to define reality” however, during these times of crisis, how can we do that?
