I’m off…

I’m glad I took you back to those corporate days. It’s always a trick in corporations — especially large ones — to balance the energy required to build the objective with just going out and doing it.

Someone once said to me — you’ll learn more by doing in two weeks than two months worth of planning.

I think it’s the same with goals. Let’s figure out what’s important, figure out the definition of success, and then go do it. Two weeks. Let’s go.

I am such an impatient Pimp, I am…

I purposely use my status reports as the documentation towards goals. No one remembers everything down to a week, so it makes a big difference at self-review time to go through the status reports.

What I find is that things that may of looked insignificant at the time can turn out to be a big deal later on. Or, things that I did that supplemented the goal can turn an average rating into something above average.

Without the regular documentation in the status reports, I’d never see it.

A thoughtful comment — thanks…

Very good post. Your post took me back to my days in corporate america. I enjoyed them, but I know the energy we spent writing goals vs. achieving goals was insane.
