Leadership

Your to-do-list counts too many items? You are constantly busy, yet you can’t progress on what matters most? New urgent requests keep coming your way? And when you can finally start working on what matters, you get interrupted all the time? The answer is simple: use ABC and CDE to get the best out of your time.

You want to motivate your managers to focus more on business critical items? Such as the development of their team members? Or prospection at new accounts? Chances are you’ve included these critical items in their objectives, with a performance-linked bonus. Nothing against that if you only want to encourage and co-responsibilise your managers in the short term. But there’s a catch: if you want to create intrinsic long-time motivation, forget about rewards. They just don’t work. In business they don’t work and at home they don’t work. So what does?

You are looking for a new job? You have this opportunity to move to another division or country inside your company but hesitate? You consider launching your own business? Or you simply want to make sure your current job is the right one for you? The answer is simple: passion and talent – or pass.
