Today’s Bad Advice: dont be afraid to admit when you are wrong

Today’s Bad Advice: dont be afraid to admit when you are wrong

I dealt with an irate client today.  Regardless of the reason they are irate, if we made a mistake I own up to it.  10 times out of 10 being honest and upfront, even when you are at fault, makes the situation more tenable.  This client in particular, he just wanted to know someone was listening.  Once I showed him I was, he was totally fine with the mistake…he just wanted to know about it and know we were on it.

Organization Charts work

Actually sketch out or graph your organizational process. Map it out, on paper…who does what, where does data flow, how are decisions funneled.

You will be shocked at what you learn about your own company and processes.

Got 5 minutes? Don’t check your email!

When you have five minutes to spare, don’t waste it on processing emails. Save your emails to process in a batch all together and spend 5 minutes actually doing something. Email isn’t doing, it’s often a precursor to actually doing. Instead spend the time doing and not just processing your email.

I look for calls I need to make, documents I need to review, web pages I was supposed to check out…anything on my “to-do” list(s) that I can actually get done and knock that out.

You’ll be surprised how many things you actually get done while waiting around for other things that other people are getting done.

Today’s Bad Advice: your system for organization is only as good as your trust and faith in the system

You can have the best system in the world, but if you don’t rely on it and use it faithfully it all still just bounces around in your head and keeps you from being productive.
