Checking boxes, feeling productive when you get thru a pile of emails that have no real impact on your work, taking a deep breath and being relieved when the “workday” is over…FEELS GREAT!
We often celebrate “getting %*&@#$ done” without assessing whether or not we are actually moving forward.
What if we spent more time considering the bedrock concepts that drive us and our business/team/operation? If we dug into the why, the reasons behind, the what-if-it-worked, we might have more impact.
Spend time working on the plans, working the process (sound familiar?) to create a great plan and the execution itself will be easier.
