Are you effective, punk? Well? Are you?

According to The Effective Executive In Action, an effective executive:

• Manages their time


• Focuses their efforts on making contributions


• Makes their strengths productive


• Concentrates their efforts on those tasks that are most important to contributions


• Makes effective decisions

…and leaves you the following questions:

“What am I getting paid to do? What should I be paid to do if I am being paid for getting the right things done in my position? Am I doing things that I shouldn’t be doing?

Eliminate or reduce the activities that do not contribute to effectiveness, the things you shouldn’t be doing. What are some of these activities?”
