How to Prioritise Urgent Tasks From Your Boss

I was presenting to a group of leaders last week and a participant in the audience said, his boss always wants everything urgently or as a priority.? I wondered if it was him thinking it was urgent or if it really was urgent.??

Sometimes I think we assume it’s?urgent because the boss asks but if we don’t ask for context and timing then we are just doing without thinking….??

I remember a great book that I have read “Time to Think” by Nancy Kline.? She says when everything is urgent it keeps people from thinking clearly.??

When we are always rushing, doing, stressed or seeing everything as urgent then often we are?just doing?without thinking.?? ? Are you someone who feels like life is just a constant merry-go-round – if so then your job this week is to “GO SLOW TO GO?FAST“. When people want something?from you, ask for context and ask for timing.???

When we give ourselves time to think we have better ideas, better solutions and better time management.?

Let me know how you go.?

I hope you enjoyed.

Be safe.
