Getting things done with excellence.
How can you get this done with excellence? You will be told that only the best of the best do it and nothing less. That is the truth. The person who tells you that if you just do it right you can get anything you want done is himself the best of the lot and knows what he is talking about. He is talking from experience and has done it all. I am not about to say that only the best get it done with excellence, but I will say that those who have been around the longest are usually the most capable.
Ask questions and listen to your intuition. Those who know more often do what others don't know. They also get more done. That's my belief and practice.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. There are lots of competent people out there who have never met you but who have the ability to do a better job than you. Sometimes you have to pay for that help, but that should not stop you from seeking it out. The best leaders spend their time getting help for their teams and themselves.
I know that sounds contrary to what you are probably thinking. You want to do it all by yourself. You are afraid you can't do it. Don't worry. The greatest leaders were not afraid to get help or ask for help. They learned how to get it done and how to let others know they wanted it done.
Now if you think you can get anything done in a day that's fine. But, day after day, week after week, month after month, you won't get anywhere. You are doing what you are supposed to do. That's how you get what you want. If you are asking me to change the world so you can get a promotion, you need to think very carefully about that and how your actions affect others.
