Key takeaways — 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
- ✓ Magtuon ng iyong enerhiya sa iyong Circle of Influence—ang mga bagay na tunay mong makokontrol—upang mapataas ang iyong personal na epektibidad at kakayahan sa pagiging proactive na lider.
- ✓ Isabuhay ang prinsipyo ng Begin with the End in Mind sa pamamagitan ng pagtukoy ng pangunahing misyon ng iyong organisasyon bago gumawa ng mga taktikal na hakbang, upang ang lahat ng gawain ay nakatutok sa pangmatagalang layunin.
- ✓ Isabuhay ang Synergy sa pagpapahalaga sa pagkakaiba-iba ng iyong mga kasamahan, gamit ang kanilang mga natatanging lakas upang makabuo ng mga solusyong mas mahusay kaysa sa magagawa ng isang indibidwal mag-isa.
Key takeaways — High Output Management
- ✓ Unawain ang Managerial Leverage, at ituon ang iyong oras sa mga gawain na may pinakamalaking positibong epekto sa kabuuang output ng iyong koponan.
- ✓ Ipatupad ang OKR (Objectives and Key Results) upang masiguro na ang bawat taktikal na layunin ay mathematically na nakahanay sa pangkalahatang estratehikong misyon ng organisasyon.
- ✓ Ituring ang Pagsasanay at Motibasyon bilang dalawang pangunahing kasangkapan ng isang manager upang mapabuti ang pagganap, na ginagawang pangunahing pangangailangan sa operasyon ang pag-unlad ng empleyado, sa halip na isang HR na gawain lamang.
