How do you achieve more with less?
September 29, 2008
Welcome to the world of business today. Everyday people are expected to achieve higher results with less time, people and resources. At the same time as there is more competition, changes in technology and even more demanding consumers, partners and shareholders.
It is enough to make you tired just thinking about it. But that is exactly what more and more people are experiencing. It really is ’survival of the fittest’ as business managers become overworked, stressed, burn-out or simply quit hoping that there next job will give them some relief. But guess what? The grass is not greener over at the next pasture.
Do we have to put up with this? Time management can help you to some extent with its emphasis on pritorizing. Perhaps that is why there is so much discussion on obtaining a better work-life balance because for most of us, work is such well…hard work. As a very hard working mum of one of our daughters friends just told us that she was too stressed to go on a holiday!
Or to put it another way–work as we know it simply does not work anymore. Surely we need to reinvent work itself. Why do we accept that work has to be the way it is? Unless we run our own business, why can’t we try and change the way we work.
My proposition is that Speed Thinking might just be what we all have been looking for. If you can change the way you think, you change your actions, feelings, expectations and ultimately your results. It is your greatest leverage point.
Speed Thinking enables you to think in a faster, better and more powerful way. I will not go on but Speed Thinking has the potential (I believe) to totally reinvent the way we all work. To become an activity in life that is purposeful, has meaning and is an expression of our mostly hidden, untapped talents.
Does anyone want to join me in this new movement? Reinventing and reimagining work so that we can produce more by working less and that work can create energy rather than sucking it from us.
