The 12 Simple Self-Management Strategies: Simple Self-Management Strategy #9 – What are your Strategies for Success?
Identifying Your Strategies for Success
Identifying your strategies for success and sharing them is the ninth self-management strategy. What are your strategies for success? List your strategies for success or your plan of action to accomplish your specific goals. Think about what your strategies for success are. Do you use project management for everything, allowing you to always achieve your goals? Do you think in terms of cost-benefit analysis? Do you use decision trees? Are you using business frameworks that your peers aren’t using?
For example, one of my strategies for success is ceating new things defining a plan, outlining my action items to achieve the goal, and setting deadlines with target deadlines. I use mapping software or a 4’x6” white board to draw my ideas. Next, I break it down into major buckets of functions or things, identify tasks and sub-tasks with in function, and identify deliverables and deadlines. I use Excel to manage the tasks and deadlines.
Sharing Your Success Strategies with Others
Sharing my secret to success with my peers or friends developed trust. The approach I describe above was always unique to me in two of my former jobs. I chose to share my approach with two of my former peers, who both expressed an interest in learning how I would create new programs, redesign and product, or build a marketing department. It also helps others and builds goodwill. If we’re lucky, others will share their success strategies so we can add it to our own toolkit.
