Time Management 5 – Setting Priorities. Some people are always busy, but never seem to achieve much. It all comes down to how they priorities their activities. The ABCDE system is a great way to priorities your activities. Categories your activities into the following categories; A – is something you must do; there can be serious negative consequences if you do or do not do these tasks. B – Things that you should do. The negative consequences of not doing them are inconvenience, but not serious. C – Things that are nice to do, but there are no consequences. D – Delegate everything you possibly you can, so you have more time to do the important activities. E - Eliminate everything you can. More to follow next week ...

(2) Develop a clear word picture for each Objective that defines what the Objective will look like when you have achieved it. (3) Then you need to develop a plan for each Objective on how you will achieve the word picture. (4) And finally you need to tie your plans to deadlines. More to follow next week ...

Noel's Book Review:
What Got You Here Won’t Get You There
By Marshall Goldsmith, with Mark Reiter
ISBN 978 1 84668 137 0
First published USA: 2007
Business Leadership / What leaders need to do to improve / The knowledge, skills and habits that got leaders to their position is not enough for them to progress, they are successful despite their habits not because of them.
Marshall Goldsmith is corporate America’s pre-eminent execute coach. Marshall is one of the few consultants who has been asked to work with more than eighty CEOs in the world’s top corporations. Marshall holds a Ph.D from UCLA
Marshal wrote this book to pass on what he had learnt from his many years of working with successful executives about what was holding them back from greater success to anyone who wants to get better – at home, at work or any other venue
Marshall has written this book in two parts. The first part is about the common traits and habits of successful leaders that hold them back from greater success. As Marshall puts it “identify a personal habit that’s annoying their co-workers and help them eliminate it”. Marshall explains why successful people resist personal change and then he elaborates on the twenty-one habits that hold you back from the top. This first part is fun to read because as you read these habits it is like looking in a mirror – I saw myself in many of the habits, I found myself laughing to myself many times –“yup that’s me!” But as Marshall wanted it – it is a very enlightening read.
In the second part of the book Marshall changes tact. He does a full 180 degree turn and focuses on how you can change your ‘old habits’ for ‘new Good habits’, it is like a personal DYI. What he says makes sense and is practical and as you read through the chapters you get a feeling that what he is proposing you to do is achievable and effective.
Marshall has written this book from his own experiences and he uses many examples to illustrate the point he is making. It is more that just theory – he has the experience to back it up.
When I was at the end of this book I felt very positive. As I looked back on the book I thought I would have felt less than positive at the end of the first part, considering it is all about pointing out why you are being held back. And then the second part would ride in like the knight and cheer me up – showing me the road to success. Well that not how I felt! I felt positive about both parts of the book because Marshall has shown the reader what is wrong and what to do to fix it. If you don’t know what is broken you can’t fix it.
I recommend this book to any one who wants to get better at anything they are doing – young or experienced it is a very valuable read.
