The process is worth thinking about. Not merely the process that your employer has set up to make sure you are meeting each performance metric, but rather the process that makes you successful. Here are my questions:
Where were you the most productive?
What led to your wins?
Then look to see if your activity is supporting productivity and wins. Here is how I try to evaluate:
Can you make a small adjustment that will lead to getting you the information more easily, or with less distraction?
Are there steps that keep you from acting on new information in an efficient manner?
Can I make it easier for people to find me?
I think of the leadership book by Marshall Goldsmith, What got you here, won’t get you there. The first time I read it I thought, Wow it is really important to re-evaluate. Now that it has sunk in I realize that this is almost a continuous process, one that we regularly need to address.
“People will do something—including changing their behavior—only if it can be demonstrated that doing so is in their own best interests as defined by their own values.”
