எல்லா ஹீரோக்களுக்கும் ஹீரோயின் களுக்கும் வணக்கம்.
Theme for the week, from today till next Friday (1st Nov), we are going to keep Put First Things First - Stephen covey Habit-3.
Our team had a demo with a C-Suite person. Team worked very hard for a period of 3 to 6 months on the product launch. Each and everyone in the room gave their best for the product launch.
On the product launch, C-Suite person came to our office from USA. He is from Chennai. Before joining our company, he was a successful entrepreneur for 3 companies. He is an alumni of Anna university. Every one of our team member felt deeply connected with him as he is from “Singara Chennai” and is doing successfully in US.
During our working lunch with him, we were having Pizza. One of the star performers of the team shared his experiences that he had gone through product development. He mentioned about how he burnt his midnight oil during product launch. How he prioritized and dedicated 16 hours of hardship during the product development. Our C suite person patiently listened to him.
In the end, he opened his mouth. He said patiently and looking into the eye of the star perfomer, “You need to balance your life. I cannot help it and company cannot help it.” We were all shocked and disappointed. We worked so crazily and burnt our lives for the period of 6 months. We were expecting a kind word of appreciation whereas he spilled his beans from his experience. All of us felt very devastated. We could not eat our Pizza.
After a week, key persons in the team did deep introspection and retrospective meeting(அனுபவிக்க கூடாது ஆராயனம்). We came with a plan to bring balance in our life.
This is where Stephen Covey’s six step process can help us.
1. Review your mission/purpose. ...
2. Define your key roles. ...
3. Identify weekly goals/choices — in writing. ...
4. Organize your time weekly. ...
5. Exercise integrity in the moment of choice. ...
6. Evaluate and learn.
Exercise for today: Please watch his video and try to implement it immediately. Best way to learn is to teach to someone in your group so that it ingrains very deeply.
Though it was very hard to digest on that day when our C-Suite person spoke about Balance and it is much needed advice to run longer in career and life.
