“Man, I am overwhelmed.”- A
frustrated co-worker
Often
times I have been told this by people around me. These words trigger many questions in my
mind.
As a
manger you always have to coach your employees to monitor their time. BUT as a leader you also have to teach them
to monitor their (and your) energy (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual,
etc.).
In
life we realize that our effectiveness is due to mostly being passionate about
what we focus on. BUT eventually we
realize that we can not do it all by ourselves.
Some people never trust enough to give away some of their tasks to
people that can better accomplish them.
Your
effects need to be directed towards tasks you are best suited for and will
affect the group’s success the most. In
other words, you have to create a test- a litmus test as Susan Strayer LaMotte
calls it. The test needs to question why
you are the person doing a particular task.
Today’s
question is:
“What is your litmus test for
what task you do?”
