Hi All,
Here’s your weekly dose of “5-Bullet Tuesday”, list of things I’m enjoying or pondering.
What I’m watching —
I chanced upon a video on YouTube and fell in love with the channel. It’s called Tell A Tale, and here is the video that really got me hooked. Since watching this one, I have seen many more of their videos.
Watch it for short, real and emotional stories coming straight from the horse’s mouth.
What I’m reading –
I’m re-reading Stephen MR Covey’s Speed of Trust and found this quote pretty powerful:
Think about it, and read this book if you haven’t.
What am I looking forward to –
Ta Da. It is that time of the year when we should be planning our goals for the next year, 2020.
I have ordered my diary for 2020. It’s called Unnati I-CAN-I-WILL Success Planner, and I would highly recommend for you to check it out here. I have been using success planner from since 2013 and love it.
It helps me set my yearly goals and break them into monthly/ weekly/ daily ones. I have taken some time to learn that one can’t bank just on the one time new year resolutions.
What I have learnt –
When making a decision under pressure or emotionally charged situation, think twice. These situations of high emotional arousal (feeling excited, anxious, or upset) are called Hot situations.
Hot situations increase the chance of engaging in risk-taking and sensation-seeking behaviours, with little self-control or consideration of the possible consequences of the actions.
Calm is your friend. So, next time, if you feel like you may be in a Hot situation, take a cold shower or as our elders have told us, have a glass of cold water. Basically, relax and get yourself in a cooler situation before you make a call.
Quote I’m pondering —
“Culture eats Strategy for breakfast!” – Peter Drucker
I heard this at an office training session and figured that it highlights how often we underestimate the power of culture.
If your plans are not working out despite your best efforts, you may want to see how you are doing on building an effective work culture. Because it may be that your best plans or strategies are being savoured by the culture over breakfast!
