Law of priorities
INTRODUCTION:
"There are many things that will catch my eyes, but there are only a few that will catch my heart" (Tim Redmond)...Leaders understand that activity is not necessary accomplishment.
REVIEW:
Clearly, the author made his point that leaders never advance to points where they no longer prioritise regardless of the environment or situation stating three reasons that can trigger the act of not prioritising which are;
"When we are busy, we naturally believe we are achieving, secondly, it requires a leader to think ahead, to know what's important and thirdly, it causes discomfort.
He explained with the three 'Rs' how one can prioritise and it's stated below. The author believes that to be effective, leaders must order their lives according to these three 'R' questions;
1. What is Required? By his explanation, our responsibilities to people we are accountable to is of utmost importance. Asking yourselves questions like "what must be done that only you can do" is very important in prioritising.
2. What gives the greatest Return? He advised that focusing and developing those areas in our life that give the greatest output including giving much time to things that gives much return should be practised by leaders.
3. What brings the greatest Reward? Here the author gives an illustration with himself. He reveals that love for the things he does energies him and keep him passionate - that is the greatest reward for him.
In a nutshell, the author puts it, "successful leaders live according to the law of priority. They recognise that activity is not necessary accomplishment. But the best leaders seem to be able to get the law os priorities to work for them by satisfying multiple priorities with each activity..."
LESSONS:
1. Taking a stand to start prioritising your life activities is the first step.
2. Write out answers to the three R questions and carve out occasionally, specific times to revisit priorities for the area.
3. Read 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by J.C Maxwell...Law 17.
