How to Apply This
-
Know where your time goes to.
Work systematically to manage the little of your time that can be brought under control. -
Focus on outward contributions.
Gear your efforts to results rather than to the process. -
Build on your strengths instead of building on weaknesses.
Build on your strengths, the strengths of colleagues, superiors, subordinates and the strengths of situations. -
Concentrate on the major areas where superior performance can produce outstanding results.
Prioritize your focus on the most rewarding things. -
Make effective decisions.
An effective decision is always a judgement based on dissenting opinions rather than on consensus on the facts.
