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.
For the past few days, we spoke about என் வழி – Put First Things First வழி, secondly we spoke on life of a software engineer and yesterday we see a C-Suite view.
Today we go on Result oriented approach. How can we put everything together? I could hear your mind voice, Stephen covey can do that. What about us.
Best role model that I can think of is my mentor. He is a successful director. Around 1500 employees worked under him. He is a principle centric person. He gets up at 5am. He comes to work at 8:30am. He is even at work on 8:30am on the Chennai flood day. He is so discipline. He leaves work at 5:30pm sharp.
He is none other than Saro Velrajan(https://www.saroscorner.com/), my proud mentor. If any of you ping, he truly spends time with you to empower you or be with you. He is a truly follower of Servant leadership. He is like a வந்தாரை வாழவைக்கும் தமிழகம்.
He is an epitome of consistency, leading balanced and effective life in a consistent way. He allocates time for his health goal by getting up at 5am, He spends time with family and time for relationship. He is a fantabulous person in relationship. Though he leaves at 5:30pm, He is very successful in his career. He connected from home if required. He worked in my company wherein we are slogging for 10-12 hours… He is not only role model to me but to 1000 of his team members and time to do community services. He is the inspiring role model in my company for 1000+ employees and He has around 100 mentees any point of time.
He is so disciplined. Not only he grows, he helps other to grow passionately.
I asked what is his success mantra?.
He has pointed me to Stephen Covey.
He says few things to me. They are
• Define your mission
• Big Rocks - Do master class work on 4 things a day or 4 things a year
• Plan your week - He does weekly planning, he does daily plan.
He says consistency in small things and consistency is not a small things. In Consistency around his mission, big rocks and weekly plan.
From software engineer to CEO, this covey models give a process to plan your week effectively on your top most priority.
This is perfectly aligned with Stephen covey’s weekly planning video. Please watch that 7 min video today.
Covey says
“Once you have scheduled your big rocks for each week then each day you can zoom in and prioritize your daily tasks and appointments. You see with the right process and the right tools for weekly planning literally you can organize and execute every week of your life around your deepest quadrant two priorities. You will spend your time on those things that matter most never losing that big picture perspective that make your life so rich and so meaningful”
My mentor always end his conversation with a Zig Ziglar Quote ”You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great”.
