CAREER BLOG TODAY:
TO SUCCEED IN ANY GOOD, WORTHWHILE AND GENUINE THING (YOUR CAREER) YOU ARE INTO, YOU NEED STEPHEN COVEY’S GREATEST SIX PRINCIPLES. EXCERPT FROM THE SUCCESS LEGEND SERIES.
PRINCIPLE NUMBER 1: BE PROACTIVE: BE A ‘TRIM TAB’
To be proactive means more than taking the initiative. It means that we are responsible for our own lies. Our behaviour is a function of our decision, not our conditions. Taking initiative is a form of self-empowerment. More important, we should empower people to solve problems without them having to go to ask permission from their boss to do so.
Be a trim-tab leader or personnel, who is constant like a lighthouse. A lighthouse is a constant and reliable source of light that doesn’t twist and turn with the wind.
PRINCIPLE NUMER 2: ‘SHARPEN THE SAW’
First of all, decide what is truly important and distinguish it from that which is urgent but not important. Half the time people spend on things that are urgent but not important, like a ringingphone, something that is pressing, something that is proximate or popular, but it may not be important at all.
You must learn to say no to ‘the unimportant’ so you can say yes to the important. Most of the meetings people deem important don’t need to be held. You need to have screening devices on all the new technologies so that when something really important comes through, you can learn to say no to te other things. It may upset a few or many people because they want you to do the popular thing, but you will accomplish so much more.
Learn to sharpen the saw early in the day and then get at it and work as a complementary team, so you don’t have to do all that email. You can learn to say no. To say no because of a burning yes about what is important is one of the most significant things you can do. Make it a habit to cultivate the four parts of your natural body, mind, heart, and spirit. If you neglect any of them, you will find it will have a negative effect upon the other three and your life will become imbalanced. You could become work-centred rather than principle-ccentred and you would find the level of your joy and happiness would be significantly reduced, and you would go for secondary greatness, rich and famous, instead of primary greatness – character and contribution. Primary greatness is CHARACTER AND ABSOLUTE INTEGRITY – THAT IS THE WATCHWORD OF THIS SITE’S FACILITATOR (J-I).
Friend, do watch out for the next post, for a continuation of this series of Covey’s six greatest principles. It will change your life forever. That post is going to be the independence edition for Nigeria at 50. I want the world community to follow up that post – the third and fourth of Covey’s six principles. Watch out!
