-After meetings be sure to get feedback ; ask to know if you got your point across,find out how you can do it better in the future,Get people to make commitments to issues discussed .
-Have an action plan at the end of the meeting.
– Learn to say no to requests that take your off course.
-Be present in every moment/interaction/task
-Instead of judging situations as good or bad , simply determine whether they are helpful or not helpful.
– Try not to do the work you have assigned to your subordinates (except you really have to) leaving your own work undone ; instead empower your subordinates to handle their responsibilities and understand situations that are beyond their control. This way,when they come to you with situations ,they can articulate it ,they know the implications and are not confused. This makes your work alot easier.
-Accept your reality,come to terms with your situation.Determine the best outcome you can work out.
Personal effectiveness is a bedrock for success ,hope these practical steps make a difference.
