π― CULTURE TIP: You CAN'T MANAGE TIME (but you can manage yourself)
Brought to you by Tristan's favourite: Full Focus Plannerβ Hi Reader, β How're things? β Love your work, LEADERSHIP CULTURE LEARNINGβ 'Claim your calendar before someone else does.' - Michael Hyatt β β β I disagree. β No one can manage time. β Whether you are organised or not, time will pass. Managed or unmanaged. β Instead of attempting to control something that is uncontrollable (i.e time), I believe leaders like you need to become experts in self-management. β That is, knowing what's important AND sticking to it! β With self-management in mind, I have two questions for you:
β My guess is that your answers to those questions are either: β
β You are not alone. β 'No, No' or 'Yes, No' are the answers I hear most often from service-based business owners. β Your team and clients are important. But, they are not MORE important than you making it a priority to better manage yourself. β To enhance your leadership potential, and ultimately to build a better business, you need to manage yourself FIRST. β For years, I've been using Michael Hyatt's Full Focus Planner as a guide to manage myself. β The most useful pages inside the Full Focus Planner are the ideal week planners. β¬οΈ β In short, my leadership culture learning for you this week is: β 'To lead others you must learn to lead yourself first.' - Tristan White β To get started, I suggest you draft your ideal week AND track how well you stick to it. β A good goal to start from is to stick to your ideal week at least 50% of the time for the next 3 weeks. β β β β TEAM CULTURE TOOL'A strong business culture starts with a compelling core purpose'. If you believe that your team culture is important, then one of the most important foundations you need is a compelling core purpose (instead of a wishy-washy mission statement). β For inspiration, here are the core purposes of some service-based businesses I've helped guide and discover: β
β β If you need feedback on your core purpose, please let me know. |
