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?”
