MANAGEMENT TIPS

 

SET YOURSELF UP TO Do YOUR BEST WORK

Your ability to stay motivated and persevere depends partly on your circumstances: the people around you, your physical environment, and your workplace culture can influence how you think and behave. So when you’re struggling to perform, don’t automatically assume you need more willpower. Start instead by asking how you can change your situation. Control the controllables. Separate the parts of your work environment you can’t change from those you can. Consider which teams you volunteer for, which colleagues you spend time with, and which relationships you invest in. Focus your energy on the factors you can influence. Edit your space. Remove distractions that pull your attention away from the work that matters. Then add reminders that reinforce the thoughts and behaviors you want to cultivate. Be intentional about what you see and pay attention to throughout your day. Find your people. Seek out peers and mentors who help you learn, build confidence, and make progress. Look beyond your immediate workplace if necessary to find people who can support your goals. Choose and shape your culture. You can influence your team’s culture through how you show up every day. When you have more freedom to choose, seek environments where you feel able to do your best work.  Excerpt from Havard business review on management. Ref: NLiN.
