"Scott, the next action item is yours. Leslie, can you take the next
one? Well, that wraps it up. Thanks for a good meeting,
everyone."
Perhaps you know this drill.
Good ideas get surfaced in the meeting. The ideas are turned into
actions, and specific owners are assigned to each action.
Then the ball drops.
Scott forgets his within minutes of getting back to the firestorm he left
before the meeting. Leslie has good intentions, but two meetings
later her already too full plate gets another helping. Net result:
balls drop, actions don't get done, and things don't get better.
Corporate
America, for the most part, is lousy at follow-up (click for a RealAudio
sample).
I run across people who are able to demonstrate visionary thinking, deliver
motivating speeches, and have good people skills. But my observation
is that most of corporate America is just plain terrible when it comes to
following up on assigned actions items, returning calls, keeping
commitments, time management, etc.
Anyone come to mind? Perhaps your boss? Perhaps someone on your
team? Perhaps you?
I came to the point one day when I realized that I was lousy
at follow-up. Too many important things were slipping through the
cracks, such as....
-
things that mattered to me--that I really wanted to do someday but just
never could find the time
-
things I had signed up to do but just couldn't seem to figure out how to
fit them in with everything else on my plate
-
things that needed my attention but I was too distracted to even see them.
I had all sorts of excuses. Maybe you've heard yourself utter
something similar....
I eventually realized that life had scaled much faster than my ability to
keep up with it. Increasing job responsibilities, more staff, more
complex projects, new house, kids, baseball, more kids, soccer, serving in
the community and church. The so-called American Dream is leading
many people to exclaim the American Scream! "I can't keep up!"
Ah, but guess what! You can
keep up! My journey through the "too busy"
wilderness took me through a path of discovery that is now available to you in
a session referred to as "Beyond Time Management: Getting Stuff Done in the
