Thought Tweet #424 Leaders, more than others, need to be comfortable with uncertainty.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Change is only constructive when people are comfortable. For Change: Leaders must set the stage and set the example. Leaders, more than others, need to be comfortable with uncertainty. This allows them to help others get comfortable with uncertainty. When people are more-comfortable with uncertainty the path for change is paved.

Boil Down Your Business

by Rick Baker
On Mar 1, 2012

Boil down your business.

That's what Robert Collier did at Volume 5 of his 1926 classic, 'The SECRET of the Ages'. 

He stated, "Volumes have been written about personal efficiency, and general efficiency, and every other kind of efficiency in business."

Then he said,

 "But when boiled down, it all comes to this:

  1. Know what you want.
  2. Analyze the thing you've got to do to get it.
  3. Plan your work ahead.
  4. Do one thing at a time.
  5. Finish that one thing and send it on its way before starting the next.
  6. Once started, KEEP GOING!"

I got a kick out of that straightforward, simple advice.

Points #4 and #5 are keys to developing talents involving  Attention, Concentration, & Focus.  They are also keys to overcoming frazzled Emotions.
