Creating Results Through Enjoyable
Solutions
“Reasonable people adapt themselves to their environment. Unreasonable
people adapt the environment to themselves, therefore, all progress
is due to unreasonable people.”
-
George Bernard Shaw
Results, Results,
Results. Everyone wants results. Today, the pressure to do more
with less can be overwhelming. However, if we can make our work
fun, we can get more done with less stress.
To accomplish
this, use the following formula for creating enjoyable specific
results. These seven solutions can become stepping stones on
a path to being more productive.
Reflect And Resolve: Focus on who
you are and what you can become. It is always your choice! Systematically
decide what you want to do, what you don’t want to do, and what
you can or cannot do. Take time to plan and assess the situation.
Prescription without diagnosis is malpractice. Change is 75% “why-to’s”
and 25% “how-to’s”.
Energize: Look at what you are doing
that drains your energy and what you do that restores your energy.
Without energy, nothing happens. Drink more water.
Structure: Now is the time to create
the model. How and what will be measured? Here is the “what”:
Revenue, Cost, Quality, Quantity, Time. That’s it. Nothing else.
The “how” is up to you.
Unite: Show the big picture and then
commit to your action steps. Communicate constantly. Show genuine
interest in others by asking questions and listening, not talking.
(i.e.: e-mail, voice mail, CD’s, CD-Rom’s, audiotapes, videotapes,
posters, newsletters, and premium items).
Love unconditionally: Accept quickly.
Forgive yourself and others often. Have tools for reinforcement.
Track: To improve on anything, it
must first and always be measured. Remember, this is what you
measure: Revenue, Cost, Quality, Quantity, Time.
Start on the process again: Consistency
and persistence are key. Concentrate and celebrate.
Overall, understand that you, as
an individual, have an extraordinary opportunity just being here.
Embracing the challenge, the power, and the fun of free will is
what can make your life results-driven, productive,
and enjoyable at the same time.
Review the
steps, copy and distribute them to your team members, then discuss
and commit to your individual action steps. Call for action and
determine the time and method of accountability.
