Thought Tweet #363 Control Things & Relate to People…Covey, the elder, said something like that.
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
When I say 'the elder' I mean Stephen R. Covey. This fellow has delivered some well-packaged pieces of wisdom. For example, I believe he was the first to teach the 4 time-&-task management quadrants generated by Important, Urgent, Not-Important, and Not-Urgent. Consideration of the Importance of actions and the urgency required for actions is a great starting point for 'Controlling Things'. And, when things are under control, you remove most of the excuses that limit your ability to 'Relate to People'.
