I like to stay on top of things. My Inbox, task list, projects, new ideas, and the list goes on. Life just seems to go more smoothly for me if everything goes according to my plans and exactly on my schedule. Yes, that’s just how I like it.
Then I wake up, realize my little dream is over, and go to work.
In Control…Really?
One of the painful lessons I’ve learned over the years…err, continue to learn…is that I simply can not control, manage, react to, and effectively address all of the issues in my world all by myself. It’s impossible. However, since I have a bit of an “I-can-do-anything” complex I still catch myself trying.
Note to self => you’re not as good as you think you are.
Less Control Means Better Results
I need to remember that more than I normally do.
How About You
Are you an HR control-freak? Are you so focused on managing every little issue that you’ve morphed into having a superiority complex and don’t even know it? We can’t control everything; nor should we! We need to pick our battles or risk losing not only the credibility of our teams…but also the results we’re so fired up to achieve in the first place.
I’d love to hear from you.
No Excuses.
