In today's information age, competitiveness is so great everywhere. In order to compete and survive, we need to be effective. What is the real meaning of effective?
Effective Person is one who always make more things happen with least resources, in the shortest possible time. Sounds like magic and could this be possible? This is possible because effective people are consistently seeking new means to do things better i.e. to be more effective and efficient that is their secret. To them, getting things done and accomplishing results are the proof of success. As such, they always stay focus at their end results and continue to explore new and better ways to deliver more outputs.
How are they different from others.? Effective people account for their own lives, and not to others. As such, they hold themselves accountable for their own actions and never give excuses for failure nor do they blame others. In doing so, they gain respect and admiration from others. Accepting responsibility demonstrates honesty, trustworthiness and courage. Their quality values naturally attract others who want to help them to succeed, which is a crucial necessity for consistent achievement.
On the other hand, people who deny responsibility often cannot see things as they really are and they refuse to admit their mistakes. Hence they cannot learn from their own mistakes and thus stunt further growth in their abilities.
Because of their open minded nature, they are eager to learn. They replace their flaw beliefs which hinder them from achieving their results effectively. These beliefs will be their rock, serving as foundation to build their plan and action to deliver more with less. They are more open to new concepts and ideas. Naturally, they will attract many trusted people to join them in incorporating new ways of doing things so as to achieve timely results. Here, we can see that change is a very natural thing in the eyes of effective people. They rather take the ride of the natural wave and not fight against it. Hence, they rather make necessary adjustments to gear themselves for new progress and continually look for faster and better means to get thing done.
To them, every issue has a solution. To be fruitful, they rather focus their attention, effort and time to seek improvement in every aspect to enhance their output. As such, they will keep themselves busy with activities that produce results.
They are results oriented people, who take ownership to get the task done. They are interested in result and not meaningless activity. They are "can do" people who initiates action speedily and make sensible decision to resolve issues. They are proactive people who seek solutions to rectify issues so as to improve further.
Another great characteristics of effective people is that they are always full of energy and enthusiasm. They consistently generate output that is much higher than reasonably expected of them. They have all the necessary key ingredients such as persistence, determination, will power, stamina to accomplish long term objectives. In short, they have passionate, convinced and convicted commitment to make their dreams into reality. They enjoy every task with self motivation and they are able to set priorities according to their ultimate objectives.
Effective people also have the necessary required competence to get things done appropriately. They are the people who constantly polish their skill and explore new means of getting their things done effectively and efficiently. They are also improvement oriented and always explore further to enhance their track records. They are the people who constantly discharge their tasks diligently with full responsibility consistently with their beliefs system. They do what they preach because they know that this is the only way that can produce long lasting results.
Now, the choice is at your court whether you choose to cultivate some of the above proven characteristics that I have learned from those great masters who have a great impact on my life.
Thanks for your precious time and I hope that your time is well spent.
