Using vs Spending Time at Work

We know you work hard. But do you work hard for the feeling of working hard or for the results you produce?

Are you spending more time in:

Managing crisis? Replying to emails? In endless meetings? Getting involved in things which will probably do better without you? Holding onto things- Delegating but micro-managing?

Or in:

Building high-quality relationships? Growing team members, clients and partners? In setting goals and then relentlessly pursuing them?

The illusion of working hard is alluring but almost always frustrating and stressful.

Doing real work requires a change in goals. And then the results and the satisfaction- follow.
