Boost Your Performance At Work in Five Easy Steps
1.Focus on the Goals
Many executives have problems prioritizing. Not knowing which project takes precedence, Which customer should be serviced first? Be clear about your goals and your priorities will be evident. Plan your day according to your goals.
2.Continuous Improvement
Big achievements usually come from small daily actions. Make sure that you are improving and growing every day. Sometimes it may appear like you have so much to do and so much to learn but if you set your sights on continuous improvement you will achieve great things.
3.Don’t Live in Your Inbox
If there is one habit that will make a major impact on your performance at work it is not to live in your inbox. Email is a great thing when used with caution. Email can take over your day if you allow it to. Start your day in your calendar with what you have planned for the day, not with what others want you to do for them. Take control of your workday by planning your day in advance.
4.Be Yourself
The jury is out on whether it’s a good idea “be yourself” at work. Should we project the more competent side of ourselves, acting more in control than we are? My opinion is that by being yourself and allowing others to know your strengths and weaknesses you make yourself happier and more effective in the long term.
5.Stay Positive at All Times
Having all the techniques and tools in place to be productive will only go so far if you don’t have the right attitude. Having a positive, can do attitude is the most significant contributor to enhancing performance. If you are positive, no task is too difficult and no problem can’t be overcome.
