In preparation for the holiday feast, I was running with an accomplished surgeon. The conversation drifted to time management. Actually it was a conversation by a lose definition. He talked and I made sounds like that of a snorting reindeer.
He’s increasingly pressed for lots of little favors, and he has learned to say ‘No’. ’No’ is liberating, and its far better than an ineffective ‘yes’, he said.
As I think back, I’ve heard this from another source, Jim Collins author of ‘Good to Great’. Mr Collins was asked at a conference what things great leaders did and he responded “great leaders all have ‘do not do’ lists”. Heard of a ‘to do’ list?, well a ‘do not do’ list is the opposite.
