Make decisions quickly and take responsibilityHow many times have you put off important decisions, thinking you need to think about it some more? And then someone else did the same thing, but faster, and took all the credit?
Leaders are not afraid to take responsibility. They analyse the situation, choose the best option and act. No endless doubts.
What to do?
- Form the habit of doing a quick analysis: "What are the risks? What are the pros? What is the cost of making a mistake?"
- If a decision can be made in 5 minutes, make it right away.
Control Your TimeIf you don't manage your time, you lose money. There are 24 hours in a day, and no one has more than that. But successful leaders know how to
squeeze the most out of every hour because they know exactly what's important to them and what can be put off or crossed off their to-do list.
What to do.
- Write down your top 3 tasks for the day and start with them.
- When you're busy, remove distractions: switch off notifications, put your phone on ‘do not disturb’ mode.
- Delegate what others can do.
