Action Principles
Pick one to do this week:
- Allow consequences to happen. Look at areas where you may shield yourself or others from the consequences of choices. Allow those consequences to happen. ACTION: Write down why you should stop shielding someone (or yourself) to remind you when you’re tempted to intervene.
- Prioritize your MVAs. Identify activities you’re doing that don’t matter as much and eliminate one of them to focus on more valuable things. ACTION: Pick one lower-value activity and commit to replacing it with something more valuable.
- Give back. Look for ways to do good and contribute to others’ lives as you succeed in your own career. ACTION: Choose an activity or person you want to help and schedule the first step to making it happen.
- Be honest. Be the “chief truth teller” to yourself and strive for brutal honesty in your self-reflection. ACTION: Schedule time for reflection and evaluate your goals quarterly.
