| | | Remain
focussed | | Managing
is a bit like wading through a swamp. Sometimes you make quite good progress,
but at other times, you find yourself surrounded by alligators or bogged down
by mangroves. When this happens, it is easy to panic and react spontaneously.
It is also exceedingly easy to forget that the reason you were in the swamp in
the first place was to drain it. | | |
| Communication |
| Communicating
is the life-blood of managing. Unless you possess the gift of thought transference,
you need to communicate simply and clearly what it is you want. |
| | | Just
do it | | Managing
can be broadly defined as deciding what should be done and then getting it done.
To ensure that things work, you need to plan what you want to do, organise who
should do what direct the action and control the outcome. |
| | | Know
your goals | | In
order to manage well, you need to plan. This requires you to know your ultimate
aim, for without a strategic overview you will find it difficult to plot precisely
what has to be done. | | |
