  • The formula is based on one simple premise: We can get more money when we demonstrate that we've added more value. And we can add more value when we spend the majority of our time focusing on the work that the most senior leaders in the organization consider valuable. That is almost always work that increases revenue or profits, either short-term or long-term.
  • Make sure that the majority of your effort moves the organization further in those areas.
  • stay on the same page about what's important and how it's impacting the organization.
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • quantify the impact you're making
  • f your manager starts asking you to do things outside the top two or three things, push back and have a conversation about it
  • After about six months of this laser focus, you're ready to have another conversation with your manager to identify the impact you've had and prove that you've added tremendous value on the things that matter most.
  • That's good timing since most organizations are beginning to think through their departmental budgets and promotions around the six-month mark.
  • It's not a trick. It's in everyone's best interests.
  • even if it requires that you push back
  • ultimately you'll be more productive, your manager will be more productive, and the organization will be more productive.
  • That's money in the bank. It will make your job more secure and you more promotable.
  • During this year's compensation conversation, take whatever is given to you without negotiation.
  • There are always some things that are more important to do than other things. The problem is that most of us aren't clear about what those are,
  • Minimizing that noise is our opportunity
  • There's no question that we're all busier than ever before, but we often are not getting the most important things done.
  • The idea of immediate results is alluring.
  • It's the temptation of the lottery.
  • instant results are almost always unattainable.
  • It's not that I think people can't get raises right now. It's that if you haven't spent the last year laying the groundwork, it's highly unlikely that you'll be successful.

    All Jesus Followers responsibility before God as sharers/communicators/coaches/teachers is clearly stated in James 3:1 . When our sharing/communicating/teaching involves The Gospel, error actually incurs a curse according to Galatians 1:9 at Therefore, each Jesus Following communicator/coach/teacher must take responsibility for the information we transmit to ensure its integrity. More importantly, we are wise to be actively sceptical about the information we receive ...especially over the Internet where it's so easy to defraud and be defrauded. We ought to do the best we know how to check the facts, investigate the evidence, and evaluate all research for ourselves. Finally, we honour Jesus better when we regularly re-recommit to being rigorous, lifelong learners ourselves ...for it is only with knowledge that we can wisely & prayerfully evaluate the claims that we encounter.

  • “If you can import a picture, you can create an effective PowerPoint.”
  • While there are hundreds of different PowerPoint techniques to learn, there are only a handful you need to know if you want to start creating visually appealing presentations.
  • there is a diminishing rate of return. It’s called the long-tail.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • A similar concept you may be familiar with is the 80/20 rule (technically the Pareto principle)

Four Paradoxes of Great Performance : The 99 Percent - 0 views

shared by Gary Patton on 08 Dec 11 - No Cached
  • the paradoxical key to great performance – and leadership – is the capacity to embrace opposites.
  • Even the noblest virtues, standing alone, have their limits.
  • Honesty in the absence of compassion becomes cruelty.  Tenacity unmediated by flexibility congeals into rigidity.  Courage without prudence is recklessness.
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • 1. The Physical.
  • human beings operate best when we pulse between spending and renewing energy.
  • In our rush to get things done, it doesn't occur to most of us that intermittently renewing and refueling energy prevents us from relentlessly burning down our energy
  • The Emotional
  • most of us embrace the notion that confidence lies at the heart of success. Vulnerability and uncertainty are seen as signs of weakness. 
  • it feels dangerous to acknowledge our limitations and difficult to admit we don't know the answer, much less that we got something wrong.
  • Humility comes from the Latin word "humilitas" which translates as grounded, or from the earth.
  • The Mental
  • we've long worshipped at the altar of scientific method and observable facts and admired rigorous, analytic left-hemisphere thinking.
  • we've paid precious little attention to cultivating the more subjective, imaginative, and integrative capacities of the right hemisphere of our brain, which is visual rather than verbal, and capable of big intuitive leaps and creative breakthroughs. 
  • The ability to embrace both of these ways of thinking – to recognize that each is essential but neither is sufficient by itself – lies at the heart of whole brain thinking.
  • When we talk about spiritual energy, we mean the energy derived from serving a purpose larger than yourself.
  • far too few leaders in companies recognize the galvanizing impact of creating a shared and compelling sense of purpose
  • By contrast, we've found that people in professions such as health care, education, social work, and the military often run almost solely off spiritual energy.
  • Self-care is a prerequisite to being most effective on behalf of others.
