Courageous Leadership Tip #103
Value of Being Organized
by Dale Collie
Regardless of company expectations, you can alleviate a lot of
your stress by organizing your work space and getting a firm
grasp on the work that must be done.
Even if you have to pay for it yourself, get the tools needed to
organize your effort, e.g. files, furniture, PDAs, software,
and training.
Work with your boss to prioritize projects and routine tasks.
Only get concerned about unfinished work if the boss gives it a
priority. You'll never get everything done, so pick the most
important and file everything else in an easy to reach file
drawer (just in case someone asks about it).
The Leadership Edge: Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is
organized life. Immanuel Kant (1724 - 1804)
