THIS ISSUE'S MESSAGE
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Don't Take it Back"
Last week, a client (let's call her Carol) was telling me about her
upcoming three-week vacation to Australia. Carol was excited
about going on such a fabulous journey. She was also dismayed
at the thought of returning to the mounds of work that will surely
await her.
Together, we worked out a plan. We first identified all the routine
tasks that Carol performed. Then we assigned each one to an
employee who could cover that task temporarily, for the three-
week period.
One by one, she delegated every routine task to someone who
could perform that activity for the three weeks of her trip to
Australia.
At this point, we discussed the bold strategy. If those people could
perform all her routine tasks for three weeks, why not let them
keep on performing those activities? Why take it back?
Carol discovered that there was no reason for her to resume
performing those routine chores. If her people could do it for
three weeks, they could do it from now on.
Then it hit her! What was Carol going to do with all the time that
she'll have when she returns from her trip? For Carol, the answer
was easy. She will block significant time for:
Planning and developing strategy.
Strengthening relationships with key
customers.
Identifying possible new products and new
markets.
Finding ways to increase profits.
Meeting with new potential customers.
What does all this mean for you?
First, this technique works well when you're planning to be away
from your office for an extended period of time. So why not plan
a vacation? You come back from time off with a new perspective,
a higher energy level, increased creativity, and often, a breakthrough
idea.
Secondly, make arrangements to let go, for the time of your
absence, of the activities that are consuming your time.
Let go of tasks that someone else can do - "I can do it better and
faster", you say. Sure you can, but ultimately, you are judged on the
results you can cause to happen, not just what you can do on your
own. If another person can accomplish a task 80% as well as you,
delegate.
Let go of your need to say, "Yes" to every request - Some of the
most stressed people around can't say no to the next fund-raiser,
the next committee, the Little League, the church, etc. Politely, but
firmly say "No".
Let go of some meetings - The typical manager spends 17 hours
each week in meetings. Nearly a third of that time is wasted.
You've seen the symptoms: hastily called meetings, no ending
time stated, no agenda, no official record of what was done or
said, no follow-up. Skip some of the meetings or send someone
else.
Finally, don't take it back! Instead of returning to your routine
tasks, figure out which tasks you perform that REALLY make
a difference. The rest is just stuff. What are the 2-3 things that
YOU do to drive the business? When you can focus on high-
impact tasks, you can significantly increase your productivity.
Let go of the routine and don't take it back!

Put Your Foot
In Your Mouth
Employed by the human-development center of a corporation in the
midwest, my friend trains employees in proper dress codes and
etiquette.
One day as she was stepping onto the elevator, a man casually
dressed
in jeans and a golf shirt got on with her.
Thinking of her responsibilities, she scolded, "Dressed a
little
casually today, aren't we?"
The man replied, "That's one benefit of owning the
company...."
Sunday School
A Sunday School teacher asked her class why Joseph and Mary
took Jesus with them to Jerusalem. A small child replied:
"They couldn't get a baby-sitter."
A Great Loss
There was a great loss today in the entertainment world. The man
who wrote the song "Hokey Pokey" died. What
was really horrible
is that they had trouble keeping the body in the casket.
They'd put his left leg in.....well you know the rest.
