Should You Really Be Doing That? (Time Management)

How many of us start our day with a plan of everything we would like to accomplish only to quickly go down the rabbit hole putting out the day’s fires?  If that sounds familiar, this post is intended for you.  The main things I would like to get across with this post is the idea of setting up a system to assess (triaging?) your priorities and the importance of frequently utilizing that system to reassess your workload.  Along the way, I’ll also offer some thoughts on the related pieces which factor into time management.  Let’s start out by reviewing the 2×2 matrix below.

Overcoming the Challenges of Social Intrapreneurship

This is a talk I am working on for a November Impact at Work call with Net Impact.  I would love to get feedback to help round this out.  Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
Thank you,

Chris

Book Report: “Good Boss, Bad Boss” by Robert Sutton PhD

I recently received an advance copy of Professor Bob Sutton’s latest offering “Good Boss, Bad Boss.”  This is the highly anticipated follow-up to “The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn’t,” a text which received a great deal of praise for helping harried workers deal with bullies in the workplace.  Professor Sutton’s new book looks to help us swing the pendulum further from workplace jerks to the land of centered, uplifting boss.  I’ve come across a handful of great quotes in the week or so since reading this book, which reflected the ideas presented in “Good Boss, Bad Boss.”  I’ve arranged those throughout this post to give you a flavor of the book.
