Are You a "Can-Do"
Person?
By Michael Angier
Sad but true. When it comes to the
people who can be counted upon to get a job done, correctly and on
time, the numbers are few.
In my experience, out of a hundred
people, the number of get-it-done people can be measured in the
single digits.
The good news is if you resolve to become one of these people, you'll easily stand out from the crowd.
Of course there are large numbers
of people who manage to hold onto their job simply by doing their
job. But I'm talking about working unsupervised. I'm talking about
taking the initiative, setting a goal or taking on a project, and
sticking with it until it's accomplished.
The vast majority of people can
show up for a job they dislike but can't seem to set and achieve
goals on their own.
And that's what separates the
winners from the spectators.
I have a plaque that reads, "There
are three kinds of people: those who make it happen, those who watch
it happen and those who wonder what happened."
In terms of getting it done, I
think there are four kinds of people:
* Those who never start.
* Those who start but give up too
quickly.
* Those who start, work hard and
hang in there, but aren't flexible enough with their strategies to
complete the project.
* Those few who start and continue
to persist with a willingness to change tactics in order to get it
done.
Determine to be one of the few who
do instead of the many who don't. Be your word. Do what you resolve
to do …every time.
In doing so, you'll develop a habit
of completion. You will earn a reputation for being someone who can
be counted upon to "get it done."
