John Giusti, VP Small Business Marketing for Staples recently stated “You’re 80% more likely to reach a goal if there’s a commitment with some level of incentive and accountability.”
John’s quote got me thinking on what each of us can do to be more effective. Following are things we have started.
Each of us has more to do in a day, than there is day. Give yourself incentives to complete items on your “To Do” list. Give yourself larger incentives for the strategic tasks on your daily list.
Hold yourself accountable to the critical items on the “to do” list. Carefully evaluate which tasks will impact your business and career the most.
Now pass along the above tips to your employees and then have some fun comparing results and offering a prize to the team member that does the best job staying on task for the week.
It’s not easy. Our business world has lots of interruptions we can’t control. We each need assistance in “staying on task.
Share what works for you.
