Just say no – You are the only one on earth who can push back on work when its time toeat a healthy lunch, exercise, attend your child’s recital, or have a relaxed dinner with yourpartner. In the long run, forgoing these things will likely decrease, not increase, your overallproductivity.
•
Reset your standards – If you’re striving for perfection at work and at home, you’re in fora tough ride. Take a cue from the world’s most productive, successful people and giveyourself room to be pretty darn good most of the time. This means you’ll get almosteverything done by the end of the day and still have time for a quick round of Ping-Pong®.
•
Team up – Try teaming up with coworkers to create a backup system. Everyone needs totake a day off, sometimes unexpectedly. Serving as backup for one another can take thepressure off when you really need a break.

Creating the New and DifferentMoving into more demanding roles often requires a shift in the way you approach work.Efficiency, perfectionism, and focus can begin to work against you, particularly in roles thatrequire creative thinking in ambiguous situations, or that call for strategic and innovative

methods of bringing ideas to market.Slow down – Seeing patterns and trends in diverse data takes time. Brainstorming,exploration, and collaboration will help bring a complex picture into focus.

Integrate – Data from unusual sources can spark new ideas and perspectives. This mightinclude tapping people from outside your team or function, or identifying analogies that tieyour efforts to other models or new ways of understanding the problem.
•
Take the long view – Sometimes a short-term loss hides a long-term gain. Stepping out ofthe weeds, looking at the big picture, and taking calculated risks in the service of a long-term vision are important components of innovation.

be surprising that the skill improves as leaders move up to the manager and executive levels.Your ability to garner support from senior leaders gives you the opportunity to position yourideas and influence your career trajectory.
Getting Work Done Through OthersGetting Work Done Through Others is important, particularly at the manager and executivelevels. However, it is an extremely rare skill. For most leaders, this is their lowest-rankedleadership skill. Getting Work Done Through Others is easier to develop, in part, becauseorganizations provide courses, coaching, and other resources to help leaders improve. It isdifficult to give up doing the work yourself, but your ability to direct, coach, delegate, anddevelop can mean the difference between lackluster and stellar results.
Inspiring OthersInspiring Others is very important at the manager and executive levels. It is highly correlatedwith strong performance at the executive level. However, very few people are skilled in thisarea. One of the reasons few people have this skill is that it’s difficult to learn. Rallying peoplearound a common vision and motivating them to embrace change and give their best willdifferentiate you and your organization. Begin honing your ability to inspire others at themanager level because it can be a critical asset for you as you move up the leadership ladder.
Balancing Work/LifeBalancing Work/Life ranks among the lowest skills for leaders at all levels, and it is harder todevelop than most leadership skills. Ultimately, the way you balance between work and life isa personal choice. The ability to consciously make trade-offs and get what you want out ofyour career and personal life will help you balance career achievement with other things youvalue.
