Learning That Lasts How can I move from Motivation to a lasting change
Emotional Intelligence Quick book • We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act , but a habit. (Aristotle) • Darren Lacroix-Chump to Champ • In order for a new behavior to last , you have to practice it enough to make it permanent. You have to train the brain to adopt the behavior, and that comes only from practice. • Routine behaviors last because you no longer have to think about them; you enjoy them years later because they become a normal part of you repertoire.
Examples • January 1st Resolutions-sustain motivation by putting on calendar • Blood Drive-once per month watch the video
Time Management • Time Management is really Priority Management • Prioritize –Plan and execute-repeat this habit
Planning • For every hour planning you save three hours in execution time. • 20% of goals produce 80% of results • Focus on the important goals-better off having fewer goals • Set aside 30-90 minutes per week to plan

Freeing up time for Quadrant two • Document all processes • Document all responsibilities by person (Grid) • Move as many out of your area and into others. • Go thru and ask the question why on all the processes. Eliminate unnecessary steps,(Toyota –lean thinking) • simplify , automate and improve any area that you can. • Have each person write up and review their responsibilities. You will end up with a workflow procedure manual. • Be sure you are doing the right things right that add value. Nothing worst than doing with perfection something that didn’t need to be done in the first place.
Management Time:Who’s got the monkey? • Management Time • Boss Imposed • System & Peer Imposed • Self Imposed-Like Cholesterol (Good & Bad) • Good is discretionary time • Bad is subordinates imposed time • Goal is to decrease subordinate controlled time to free you up to work on getting better control over boss and system imposed time.
