Prioritization and Time Management

No matter how one approaches time management, a few limitations will always be in place. There will only be twenty four given hours in any one day. One will need to sleep, eat, tend to hygiene and conduct other “prerequisite” activities. There will always be more things that one might like to do than there is time to do them. When one looks at that collection of limitations, it becomes very clear that proper prioritization is essential to effective time management

Cash Cow or Sacred Cow?

Getting down to the nitty gritty about a client's 'best sellers' is one of the first things I jump into when I start a new project.

It's the biggest seller (which is easy to prove with revenues), the cash cow, sacred cow, the product that delivers major corporate differentiation. Right? Sometimes it is. But more often it's not. It may generate the most revenue - but you have to look deeper, much deeper, to find out how the product is impacting your business.

Yellow Pages - To Advertise or Not To Advertise

With so many other ways to access information today, it should be no surprise that the effectiveness of directory books such as the Yellow Pages is on the decline. However they still are a main source of information for visitors in a hotel room, or users of public telephone booths. Some older age demographics also prefer them to other alternatives. It is expected that we will continue to see these familiar yellow books around for approximately 10 more years.

Conversations for Effective Action

In your work, and in your life away from work, you participate in conversations. People speak, and people listen. And more is happening - promises are made, requests are made, invitations are issued, proposals for new projects are presented. Things happen in conversations. In fact, it is in conversations that people make things happen. Only four things can happen in a conversation. We call these Basic Linguistic Commitments. The four linguistic commitments for action are requests, promises, assertions and declarations, and they happen in conversation, and this is all that’s happening.

Success and Leadership - The Measuring Sticks of Success

We often use the wrong measuring stick as to our worth and achievements. It is the money stick! We get mesmerized by the glitter of celebrities and the Fortune list of the wealthiest people. We compare ourselves with a system that honors entertainment more than education, more than how we care for our families, or how hard we work. We compare our bodies to bodies that we are told are the bodies to have in order to have happiness. We need to stop comparing ourselves with unrealistic goals. What's good for one person is not necessarily good for you or me.
