Getting Things Done

Delegating

The first thing they would notice is that I am tenacious as hell. When I am focused on a goal, I am very determined and I don’t take “no” easily. I can fall down, get up, learn from the experience. Also, I’m secure enough with myself to unabashedly admit what I don’t know and to seek help from others. Also, if you want to get things done you have to delegate. I will find the very best people I can with whatever network I can employ, to find people of competence and integrity. If it’s repairing something around the house, I will find the best person, figure out what needs to be done, make a budget and plan, make them accountable and get out of the way. I want to put my energy into the things that are higher priority values for me. I want 60 minute hours for my high priority items. Lastly and very important, I really try to connect to people and establish a trusting relationship. Trust is a seminal quality for a satisfactory relationship.
